I fixed my dad's angle grinder with a ball bearing I salvaged from my gerbil's old excercise wheel a few years back.

It was even the same brand. I love when hoarding materials pays off.

6201RS

6 - type code: single-row, deep groove ball bearing
2 - series / robustness: (2 corresponds with ‘light’, which is more durable than 0, but less durable than 3 or 4)
01 - size code: 12mm bore (inner diameter)
RS - grease seal: rubber seal one side (no seal would be ‘6201’, both sides sealed would be ‘6201-2RS’. Z and ZZ are used similarly to indicate presence of steel shield(s))

The 6201 is a good fit for this application, and providing the gerbil wasn’t too hard on it, should last a long time.

Comments like these are why I periodically still love the internet.

I kinda needed this today, thank you. <3

I know you have equally developed knowledge and opinion on a variety of things, like sliced bread or boot rubber compound
