My biggest (and oldest) Powermatic table saw is currently in need of some bearings replaced. Not 'critical' need yet but getting close...
So long as I properly maintain it - That saw WILL outlive me.
Will bet money his new Bosch comes with Chinesium bearings that will most definitely need replacing in short order if the tool is actually put to heavy or hard use. Just like the newer Porter Cable junk, the newer Dewalt junk and so on...
Pro tip: Have a bearing supplier already lined up that offers 'quality' parts beforehand and don't skimp on the bearings with tools you really depend on. As in - Don't replace 'china bearings' with 'china bearings'...
