Fafnir actually makes both real bearings (I think they're a subsidiary
of Timken now) as well as skate bearings. I have some Fafnir
machinery bearings, they're good stuff. Usually the shields on the
skate bearings are colored a bright color, the ones I have are either
green or red. The equipment bearings have black shields or are
unshielded.


Dang! Aren't we allowed to have pretty bearing shields in our lathes and mills
then?
