By the size I assume this is a guide bearing. I have used double sealed (ZZ) bearings without issue. They are cheaper by packs of 10 . . . but, I have only replaced 3 in over 10 years. My point is it is nice to have them handy when you notice that a bearing has gone sluggish or frozen up but, this happens few and far between. I run a G0513X and bought a tube of side guide bearings and a tube of thrust bearings for not much money from VXB. Years later they are handy and cost less than current rates ;-)

Yes you can, but I prefer RS which are rubber seals.

Unless the rpm is over 5,000 or more RS is the way to go around sawdust.
