TNKS bearings?

[Woodwackr]

I found a couple of these in a 200t parts saw. TNKS ZG US and the type#
I found the same on Dukes site but no info on there they are made, track record, etc.
Anyone familiar with them?

Ah, JS, not US.
I messaged Duke on this. Hopefully he can shed some light.

These are made in China.

I've been selling them for some time and generally have heard little complaint. I don't typically repair these types of saws so have little experience using them in shop. I think it's the only aftermarket 200t bearing available, so any you buy will likely be that, unless OEM.

As I always say, if you need/demand OEM quality, I suggest going that route.
