Wadkin 9bft planer

[carbo]

Hi I've acquired an old wadkin 9bft planer which by the sounds of it needs new cutter lock bearings.... Can anyone point me in the direction to obtain some new ones?
I'd be also grateful for any tips on the replacement process.....thanks in advance.

If you can get the measurements or the serial number for the bearings you could try bearing boys they will have a selection of different quality ones. To install them you can heat the bearing up on a lightbulb. Another good thing to use is the old bearing to put next to the new one to protect the new bearing when you tap it home.

Someone like bearing boys should be able to help.

That's such a simple solution, I'm pinching that as well. Thanks
