One of my sanders went down. to buy the assembly is outrageous but I can press the bearings out and new ones in. They are small, about the size of a nickle. Needs to be hickory/charlotte area if possible.
 
If you can get the numbers off the bearings I can call our bearing guy here at work. May can help...
 
There's a Motion Industries in hickory, and they likely stock what you need. If you can get it off and take it to them, they can find it for you. Probably a couple other options. I just searched "bearings hickory, nc" and them and 3 or 4 other places came up.
 
We had a cnc turning center go down because a motor cooling fan went out. Would have been a several hundred dollar repair. I pulled the fan and got the bearings out. Allied wanted something like $18 per. A quick Google search and I realized they were the same bearings used in skateboard wheels. A jump across town and a $4 bill and we were back in business!

I used or rebuild bearings on cooling fans for power supplies used in a print shop somewhere. The bearings would get stiff and shut down the supply. For whatever reason, we couldn't find a fan with the correct encoder output to work with the supply. It was a $12 fan, if we could have found one. Instead, I had to disassemble, clean, and repack tiny bearings. Good times.
