6 forum posts 2 photos	Hi Emgee Thanks for the reply "I used the std bearings in my Emco" Standard bearings are- BEARING CLEARANCE - NORMAL CN? I'm not good at technical data bearings, so I asked which ones are better In the site where I want to buy, there are 2 options: 6006-2Z SKF BEARING CLEARANCE: 1. NORMAL CN 2. C3 So, I choose the option 6006-2Z SKF - NORMAL CN ? Best regards! Robert
