I am currently refurbishing the carriage and apron on my 13X30 Series 60, and just realized I don't remember which way the 4 feed screw bearings face when installed.
At first I didn't realize they were angular contact bearings and almost bought regular ball bearings of the same size.
The bearings are New Departure 0L01 and cross to a 7001 bearing (if I'm researching right).
As I looked up many different bearings online, I came across info saying they must be installed facing the proper direction for axial load. I am worried about the chance of installing them all backwards! Anyone care to tell me how the 4 bearings should be installed??
