The spindle cartridge assembly equipped with the Model
W1827 features factory-sealed bearings, which require no
lubrication during their lifetime.
In the rare event that a bearing fails, your shaper will
probably develop a noticeable rumble that will increase
when the machine is put under load. If allowed to get
worse, overheating of the journal containing the bad
bearing could occur. If the bad bearing is not replaced, it
will eventually seize—doing damage to other parts of the
machine.
Bearings are standard sizes and can be found through
any regular bearing supply store or by ordering through
Woodstock International. However, it is much easier to
just replace the entire spindle cartridge assembly as one
unit (part #X1827157A, see =`^li\,+).

The fence can be resurfaced or made flat with a jointer

done if the fences will not align with each other after
careful adjustment or they are warped.
