Hey all,

Does anyone know of a local (Seattle/Bellevue/Redmond) store I can pick up several 3/8" linear bearings this weekend?

I recently got 3 for the X-carriage on my Thing-o-Matic, and they work great. I now want to upgrade my Y-carriage too, and wanted to do it over the long weekend. Grainger can't have them until the 26th, and Amazon has some but I can't get them before Monday.

Thoughts?

Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion, though sadly they don't carry linear bearings :-\

Just found this link(below).  Been to most of these places but never b&w controls.  Sounds promising though.  
You also might get lucky at hardwicks or stoneway hardware or they might have a good idea of where to go. Maybe rockler too. 
The uw store sounds cool too! 

Good luck!
