Yup: 6x13x5mm with flange and shields. Look up the standard code F686 or F686ZZ if you'd like to find more listings.
I bought a bunch from eBay at a very reasonable price from HK and they've been working beautifully.

Plan on spinning that shaft in a drill and some Emery cloth to get it down to size.

+1. Worked a charm for me. Run up and down the length to try and keep the sanding even down about 1/3 of the rod (far enough so you can install bearings in pillow blocks further down the rod if you like). Keep trying the bearing on every now and then to feel how you're going. smile

But to be sure, a picture of what you are referring to would help.

Locally would be best but I suppose I could order of the net if need be.  Thanks for the help!
