Re: Press Fit

We make most of our press fits for bearings .0005-.0002 undersize. Even attempting this without a CNC machine is a waste of time, IMO. You're better off just reaming it to the nominal size and using some of the green wicking loctite to retain the bearing. It's as good as a press (and absolutely will not let go, without extreme heat).
