I bought an Amana sanding drum (61293) for my Hammer C3-31 shaper - seems to work fine. I have some repetitive pieces to make, and thought it would speed it up to use a pattern and bearing. Amana sells a "ball bearing rub collar" (61596), so I bought that.
What am I missing, here? The spindle seems too short to hold both the sanding drum and the bearing. Is it just that my spindle is too short, and this would work on a different shaper?
Second, even if the spindle were tall enough, how is this supposed to go on? The bearing is 1.25" ID, and the spindle 1.25" OD. Seems like having to freeze the spindle before installation would be a huge PITA - I figured it would just slip on....
Third, $70 for a plain old ball bearing? :/
