Bearing Steel Free
Any knife forgers in Western Washington State, USA?

Likely over 200 pounds. Big spherical roller bearings. They are intact, includes rollers, inner races, and bronze cages. Never used, just old stock, perfect for forging.

The catch? You gotta drive to Port Angeles,, WA and pick them up. No way to ship, too much weight.

The outer rings on those bearings work good for tramming your mill, and the rollers also work good for standoffs for setups on a mill.


Never rode a bull, but have shot some.

Yep, I have a good supply for those deeds.

Just have too much junk in the shop, time to pass it on. I will give it a week then off to the scrapper.

I could use a 6 inch one if it had rollers. I have a bigger one but a smaller one would work much better. Should you deside to ship single ones.
