Ball Bearing

I had to remove a knurled knob to get the old bearings off. . The parts department at Jet told me the knob was pressed on, it wasn't. The technical support department told me it was threaded on, and that it had thread lock on the threads. I drilled a hole in a block of wood about the same size diameter of the shaft I had to hold. Then I cut the block in half (along the length of the hole) so that I could wrap sandpaper around the shaft and put it in the block and then in the bench vice. That gave me a good grip on the shaft so it wouldn't spin. Then I used vice grip pliers to remove the knurled knob. Once the knob was off I pried the old bearings off using a screwdriver and pliers. I heated the new bearings just a little so that they slid on the shaft easily. To heat the bearings I just slid them (one at a time) over my soldering iron shaft for a few seconds. Then I re-assembled everything.

Disassembled, then reassembled.

Followed rigid parts diagram found online, rigid manual and common sense. I needed to buy a bearing puller to do it right but wasn’t very expensive

Removed panhead screw and roller bearing and re-installed the new ones...got the parts from E-Replacement parts in a very short time from ordering and got back up and running in a very short time...VERY PLEASED...!!!!!!

Remove table,removed blade, removed tires, replaced bearings and added bushing and larger washers to hold lower bracket in place. install new tires top & down, installed new blade, realigned bearing guides, blade on the tires, reinstall table, back to work

Replaced missing Thumb Screw. Kept the ball bearing for spare part.

I removed the old guide blocks from the brackets. And put a dollar bill between them and the blade for the correct placement. I then remove the old bearings and placed the new ones in and adjusted them so the blade was just almost touching them.
