[john.k]

he also lists another identified Gamet pair ,and Id think there may a full set for one lathe...............I d assume they would know what lathe they were bought for

If the OP was offering (say) new Hardinge HLV-H or Monarch 10EE headstock bearings super cheap, would y'al be complaining about participation?

I wouldn't be.

All good and well but a good number of those bearings haven't been kept in their protective wrappers.

Not to bad for the run of the mill application but I would be leery of monarch spindle bearings handled in this manner.

If you buy a new bearing from a industrial bearing house and it comes inside a blue cardboard box and it say bearing on the box and it's not a factory brand box like Timken, NSK, Bardon, SKF, etc. it is either a bearing Baker bought not in a box or they 'rebuilt it" I used to see that from time to time when I had the shop. Baker doesn't sell bearings to the public, they only sell to wholesale to bearing houses or Industrial supplies who then sells it to you.. If I got one I would send it back and say I wanted a "brand New bearing from the mfg. not from Baker" . That's why you need to inspect bearings when you get them for wear marks on the races or the ID to see if they are scratched.

Hold on... "rebuilt bearing".... how do you rebuild a bearing? Regrind the races and new balls/rollers?

Look at the bearings in the first picture, those are not new in the box, those are bearing that were removed for being faulty and replaced then the old bearing was put back in the box. No machinery dealer would stock new ball or roller bearings there would be thousands to stock. This is just another example off what sort of lowlife sell used machinery.

I was talking in general about buying bearings and not this OP's thread. I have purchased supposed new bearings from new bearing houses and they ordered them from Baker or a bearing rebuilder like this one. https://www.bmcbearing.com/bearing-repair . The Op's spindle bearings look worn to me. I suspect the bearings are worn or someone had it apart and didn't put them back on correctly. I bet if you ask in the Hurco - Milltronics forum if someone has a parts manual for a Hurco - you might get lucky.

In the dark, with lapping compound, when no one is around....re-pack with peanut butter.
Make sure you use Jiffy smooth, not crunchy.

To be fair tho, they do rebuild large expensive bearings, like slewing rings and ballscrews and so on. Regrind, install bigger balls or rollers, and get a little more life. Not worth it for a 6206 for sure.

Sorta makes me think of the stories I heard about Air Force guys selling a jalopy. Take the guy for a nice ride in the plane first, so his ears no longer work so well!

Now that you know, keep an eye open when you buy bearings. If the come in a unbranded blue box send them back. Or tell the bearing retail store you want NEW bearings and not rebuilt.
