[NSRCA-discussion] Bargain on OS 140RX stainless rear bearings

[Jerry Budd]

Hey Verne,

Maybe you missed Dave's original posting on this.  He found the same 
bearing for ~$10 at a place called toolpartsdirect.com vs $26 from 
Tower.  Quite the find considering it's actually a replacement 
bearing for a Makita power tool.  Nice!

Jerry


>David,
>Here's your bearing. Tower has them in stock. They originally came in the OS
>1.4 EFI. Tower has always had it listed as the rear bearing for the OS 1.4
>CFI. Obviously a typo where someone replaced the "E" in EFI with a "C".
>Makes it tough to search for it on their site, but here's the link and
>they're in stock. Have fun,
