I might have found another difference between the Performax and Jet drum sander. Over the winter I ordered (2) Jet bearings from ToolPartsPro:

Now that I go to put them on, the design is slightly different (the Jet bearings have a deeper sleeve and are secured with 2 gib screws) and the dimension is slightly smaller (.983" versus .998" as measured with my HF caliper - the shaft is about .993").
I don't think I can grind down the shaft enough and I don't think I can have a shop just press them on. What should I do?
