You make me laugh you lot.!! . . . . Your quite happy to pay peanuts for the parts but then whinge and whine when they aren't top quality.!

Totaly wrong, I don't expect top quality but I do expect 'fit for purpose'

I know what you mean but come on it's 10min job at tops and it's not difficult or hard. There has to be some affect of cheap prices and If folks have the abilty to build the machine in first place then in the grand scheme it's a drop in the ocean to fettle these bearings.

Getting all anal about bearing's and whether one came from China and other Japan is mostly pointless unless your chasing very tight tolorences because your own workman ship will introduce a lot more error than a couple of cheap or mismatched bearings ever will.!! . . . . . End of the day it's a router for cutting Wood and provided the bearings are greased and shimmed to remove lateral movement then they last for years.! . . . I've just after 5yrs changed my bearings, yes I've adjusted and greased them couple of times in that period but that's just normal service like any machine needs.
