I need to replace the small guide ball bearings on my bandsaw. The originals are Z with shields. Should I stay with Z or go to rubber sealed. I plan to run this saw dry.
Seems like rs is better for holding in the grease but metal*shields might keep grit/swarf from eating the seal/shield up and letting gunk into the bearing.
