Bill, If you don't go with OEM bearings, make sure to get the same type of bearing. In the pictures you sent, it looks like the aft roller bearing and race are slightly tapered. This allows the bearing to operate with axial loading...such as the force caused by the tailstock when you clamp in your work. With that said, they also only work one way (typically) so when you install them, make sure the bearing is facing the correct direction. Good Luck!! -- --
