Thanks guys for all the input I don't like the idea of throwing the spindle away and buy a new one just to save money, I will take a look at the FAG bearings.

Suppose its costs vs reward. A more expensive set of bearings will last longer but cost more. If changing the bearings is not too onerous, why not fit 'budget' ones (assuming you get OK runout) and just change them every 24 months?
