RE: Shaft Extensions / Panel Bearings

Posted by Triode_Kingdom on July 10, 2017 at 23:45:31:
Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't see how that could be relied on to reduce end play at the front panel. A live bearing doesn't necessarily improve the fit between the shaft and hole, and any free play at the pillow block would be angularly magnified several inches away at the front panel. Do you know of a particular bearing/bushing intended for panel mounting that might exhibit a tighter fit than the usual offerings?
