Polisher Bearing Pol05

Extra Information

Typical signs that a bearing like the POL05-08 needs replacement include a rumbling or grinding noise from the head or motor, noticeable side play when you try to rock the pad, or a rough feeling when you spin the spindle by hand with the tool unplugged. Continuing to use the polisher in this condition can quickly wear gears and other support points.

Using a genuine Tork Craft bearing ensures the correct internal clearance, bore, outside diameter and width for the POL05 polisher. This is especially important where the bearing sits in a tight housing or runs at high speed under load – the right fitment helps keep the drive system reliable for day-to-day work in panel shops and detailing bays.

Pro Tip

Pro Tip: When you replace the POL05-08 bearing, take the opportunity to inspect the matching bearing seats, shafts and gears for wear or heat marks. Always press the bearing on and off using the correct tools, supporting the race you are working with – never hammer directly on the inner or outer race. After reassembly, run the POL05 at low speed with no load first and listen for a smooth, even note before putting it back into full-duty use.
