Guys,
I want to add a tail bearing to my AXI 2826-10. I have a few tail shafts that measure a 5.94mm. This puts it just a little lose with a 6mm bearing. What tail shaft has been used (where do we purchase it) and what bearing?

Thanks,              DennisT

Guys,
I ordered the AXI tail shaft today, they call it a "Radial Mount Set", it is specific for the AXI which is a three bolt mount. I think the shaft is a little larger then some of the others so I am hoping the bearing will fit with close fit. I heard that skate board bearing fit perfect, will let you all know once I get it set up.

Skate-board bearings:
standard "608" size, with a bore of 8 mm, an outer diameter of 22 mm, and a width of 7 mm.

Not a bearing expert but will a skate board bearing stand 8 to 10K rpm?  The above size bearing from McMaster-Carr costs $12.33 and is rated at 34,000 RPM

Guys,
Thanks for the info for the AXI, I have a Radial Mount System (RMS2820) on order, seems everyone is out of stock till October.

Anyone do one for a Hacker 30XL10? I think they have a 5 mm ish bolt on tail shaft.
