Who is the resident bearing guru?

II was wondering if there was a cheat page to the nomenclature.  Its like belts and hose fittings, hyd stuff, I just cant remember all the details and didnt know it well enough at the time. Wonder if there are cheats to cross mfg.www.urkafarms.com
Reply:Today I use the internet and McMaster. When doing a lot of repair work I had catalogs that helped. I only keep my bearing catalogs.  On V-belt there a easy way to cross reference by using the outside belt dimensions but forgot Dave

Reply:Dang, it would have been my late dad. He spent 27 years as a maintenance machinist at Timex. Before that he was a tool and die maker. I swear he knew everything about everything. I have all of his tools and handbooks now. Let me look through and see what I can come up with (if anything)Miller Multimatic 255

They are still pumping out "machinists" at the tech high school but they are all trained only on CNC now. I am not sure there is anywhere around here you could go anymore to be trained as a tool and die maker.
Reply:I do have a union card as journeyman repair machinist.  But formal training is in Engineering and licensed in structural steel . It very good line of work.Dave

It is available in digital format by searching for it, you may find a used set if you look.I did find it in a PDF, but you' have to create a free account to use it, personally I hate those sites.
