Delta band saw wheel bearings

[Jim Hancock]

Does anyone know of a local(Raleigh) source for wheel bearings for a 14" Delta band saw? I prefer local merchants even if they are a little higher in price. Also looking for a jointer blade sharpening service.

There is a tool repair service off Hodges St. in Raleigh, near the Habitat Re-store that probably has them or could order them. Tom at Woodcraft probably could guide you in the right direction also.
FOr sharpening services, there are several in the Raleigh area. The subject was discussed in this thread and a few others http://www.ncwoodworker.net/forums/showthread.php?t=3639&highlight=sharpening+service.

I have bought a lot of different bearings from Applied Industrial Technologies. They are off New Bern Avenue just outside the belt line. Telephone (919) 231-6030.

Applied Industrial Tech. gets my vote locally, along with Grainger. I have an open account at Grainger. Call um up and order, with UPS guy having them on my back porch before noon the following day. Tractor Supply, along with Agr-Supply also stock bearings. For mail order, it is hard to beat VBX on price or service. Last winter, I ordered a set of ten bearings thrust bearings for my BS. Total cost including shipping was about twenty dollars.
