taper bearing.

[i lunn]

Just restoring Acorn/ Halifax lathe and the taper bearing on the spindle is not good. The Price of these timken bearings is silly as could be into £300 for the pair (the lathe is only worth £250). Looks like its due to the outer part having a shoulder. I can get the same bearing without a shoulder at much lower price. Is it done to just use inner section and rollers from new bearing with the old outer that has the shoulder. Also can the outer be reground?
Edit:- bearing inner 14125 and outer 14276-B

Maybe it's worth posting the bearing number in case anyone has some or knows a cheaper place.

Simply bearings have a major brand (i.e. whatever recognised brand they happen to be able to get their hands on when you order!) 14276B listed for £85 inc vat, with a mjor brand 14125 for £26.
.
For something precision, mixing and matching old and new parts is not really recommended.
What's wrong with the original bearings?

The inner race is very notchy it looks to have been run dry.
