I am replacing a small bearing on an 8mm shaft (it is a guide on a band saw). The knackered bearing was an interference fit. It's replacement is just a tad loose (I measure them both at 8mm), there is no play, I can't see light through the gap...
I have manage to get it on tight-ish with a single layer of ptfe tape.
Could there be a better way ?
Would 'thread lock' work ? not really keen to spend a fiver on some thread lock to secure a £1.70 bearing, but would it work better than ptfe
