Yesterday afternoon I replaced all the cam bearings on my lt70. 8 little ones and 3 big ones.  The saw head had to be adjusted a smidgen but that was it. This is the third time I replaced the whole works and the mill is behaving like a new one. All the old bearings roll freeley but must have way more rolling resistance than the new ones as I can creep along at a snails pace if I desire. No slow spots anywheres in the 26 feet of travel. I love it.
