12 forum posts 8 photos | Hi Thor. Thanks for them. I found the one with pics of bearing change but not belt drive. The other seems to be for the x1 mill. I am really looking for some drawings so I can fab them myself. My mill is in complete bits at the moment but I can mill at work using our bridgeport. Got new bearings ready to install already. I am a maintenance engineer by trade. Lucky enough we have the bridgeport here Rob |

Neil did replace the ball bearings with AC bearings in addition to installing the belt drive. There is another description here (and others here and here), I don't know how well that helps you.
