Help to identify/source a bearing please?

Hi - the bearings in the upper bandwheel of my old Startrite 342 bandsaw are finally insisting they be replaced.



Came out reasonably easily, they measure:



Inside - 15.8mm, 5/8"



Outside - 34.9mm, 1-3/8"



Diameter - 8.7mm, 11/32"



However, I can't find them in manufacturers tables. It seems 9/32" features with the correct i/d& o/d - but not 11/32". (the slimmer bearing would be a poor fit,but I'm willing to try shiming out with washers if necessary)



The bearings are marked: IKS, JAPAN and 7R10 and sealed with metal shields.



Can anyone suggest a source for these? Are they (or were they) a common size?

I presume you meant "width 11/32 in." As you say, 9/32 seems more common for those diams. Maybe they're double-row races?

Thanks for the quick reply, yes that should say "width" not diameter. Also the bandsaw model is a 352 - I should remember, they're as common as muck.

Have fired off an email enquiry to that outfit. They don't list bearings, but they do list guide blocks which I shall need shortly as well.

So anyone know an outfit with the specified bearing likely to be on the shelf?

Phone Startrite - they are very good on spares even for old machines.
