Default Engine Bearings

Applied Industrial Technologies is an excellent source. They used to go under the name Bearings Inc. I use them for some items I buy for work related projects. I really see no reason whatsoever to use Boca. Using a regular bearing supplier is just as easy and much cheaper. Like I've said before, the quality is controlled by the ABEC rating. ALL bearings are built to these standards regardless of the brand or country of origin. The only exception may be the "no-name brands" that do not carry a ABEC rating. Those bearings are not suitable for model engines. The part numbers are standardized too. A 608 is the same size regardless if it's an NTN, SKF, NSK, Fafnir, etc.
