Re: lazy susan type bearing? thrust bearing?

Using anything other than precision ground from mcmaster will result in getting bar that is over your required dimension and it will NOT fit (we had this experience the past year). The precision ground is a little more expensive, but will fit perfectively.

On another note, imagine my chagrin to discover that the pages I thought I was linking to linked to only the intro page and not the product I had looked up. Grumble. Do a search at Mcmaster for each one of these.

Ball Bearing:6383K241
Thrust Bearing:6655K17
Precision ground 3 foot 1/2 inch dia. bar: 9062K313
