>I was at Dixie Industrial Service today in Chattanooga, TN. While there I asked about the problem with the Sioux and Milwaukee angle drills that we all use for sanding. If anyone has one of these that is giving trouble you might want to send it to Dixie and specify that all bearings be changed to sealed bearings. The factory bearings are shielded only. The sealed bearings cost about $3 more each and there are 6 of them. You can contact them at:

>Barb, the dust from the sanding will eventually get into the bearings. It is good to take the side cover off occasionally and clean it. replace the bearings as soon as they start getting noisey, before they melt the plasic that supports them.
