A project that I have been putting off for a long time is replacing the arbor bearings in my table saw (Ridgid r4511). I didn’t realize how bad of shape they were in. The bearings were so warn that they were adding a lot of resistance to the motor which made cutting through thicker stock more difficult. The replacement took me 3.5 hours to complete which includes time to recalibrate and tune up the saw.

Their Sawmill was too Small for this Walnut Log
Today we have some special guests here for an adventure! My friends Chris and Ryan are here today, and we’re going to be cutting up

Great video! Where did you get replacement bearings? What size are they?
Got them from eReplacementParts.com They’re size 6004 ZZ
The size # 6004zz
Is that the bearing size just for e-replacement
Or the # on the bearings
That is the size designation on the bearings
What tipped you off to the bearings being bad?
Noise and loss of power
