I'm need to replace the bearings on my homemade lathe and have found that there are two kinds. Sealed/prelubed and those that can be regreased with a grease nipple. The original/current ones are pillow block bearings with grease nipples. Can I replace them with sealed/prelubed bearings and is there a big difference in the two kinds of bearings?
BTW I've never done anything like this so any help would be appreciated.
thanks in advance, Jeff
