As the heading says my new bearing has arrived. It slid right in with
minimal resistance. It is also 1/2 inch too long. Is any of this an
issue.
Should I cut it down to fit?
Do I need to add some sort of glue or epoxy? Or will the two set
screws be enough? Here is a link to my blog where there is a pic.

Brian,
I've seen machinists in the mill working on shafts that were slightly
undersized. Their trick was to run a dull, rounded tool down the length
of the shaft as the lathe was slowly turning. They didn't remove any
steel. They just created a small groove and a greater diameter on each
side of the groove. I'm sure that if you took your bearing to a machine
shop that they would be aware of the trick. When I changed my bearing I
cut it to the proper length on my lathe.
