I bought some cheap Chinese ones off of RRD and regret every penny I spent. Misumi was the way to go. 4 out of 12 of the RRD bearings were throwaway.

Wish the files were available to tinker with, and it would cost them nothing to use bearings all around...literally pennies

Not sure if the workbenches come with this setup but here it is. If this is old hat or a duplicate post feel free to remove it mods, sorry.
