Shop Dad: Do you have a part number for the upper bearing that you ordered from Accurate Bearing? Thanks.

Hey ET, unfortunately I don't. I have tried to get better about including that type of information in threads but didn't here. It's probably something like a 6204, but if you get the ID and OD with a caliper Lynn at Accurate can probably help you find what you need. Good luck and post if you get it worked out. Doug

I will let you know when I get it up and running. Your previous posts and pictures on your rebuild of the Powermatic Model 14 were invaluable to me. Thanks for doing that--it gave me a lot of confidence to take on the project. As soon as I finish taking apart the transmission and getting the bearings out, I will order my parts.

Glad you are jumping in. If you get stuck on the gears or some unavailable part you may be able to get a local semi-retired machinist to fab something for you at reasonable cost.

Doug-Do you remember if you had to have the wheel (part 6286473) that is shown in one of your photos machined and drilled in order to fit in the bracket and accommodate the screws? The correct wheel (part 6286944) is no longer available. From your photos, it looks like you have the older style wheel and bracket like mine (they redesigned this for the better on the newer Powermatic and Jet models of the sander by incorporating bearings into the wheel assembly).

I was able to reuse the original parts. They were in fine shape.

I have the same powermatic oscillating spindle sander and am replacing the two oscillating gear assemblies. Do you have the part numbers for all the bearings you replaced and where to buy them, my bearings are totally dirty filthy. thanks.

dave, you can clean up the bearing enough to read the part number on the edge of the outer race. then you can buy replacements. if you have a bearing shop near you, take it with you.
