After waiting 2 weeks for bearings, my A**Hole supplier send me sealed rather than shielded bearings for use in my mill. 2 of them will be used on the X axis screw, while the others will be used on the middle idler pulley.
Should I use them, or should I insist on them being shielded like the original. I don' think it will matter on he table, but on the pulley, it will be an inside bearing not really getting any airflow. The pulley is aluminum so there is some heat dissapation..
What do you think???
I wanted to finish the mill tonight, but I'm not sure.
