    That's a heck of a deal right there. Is that for the Orange Seal Ceramics?

    I have run my Orange Seals with (YRF) and without (dry) oil. I find that dry works much better. Does this shorten their life?
    Don't worry Ma'am....

    Do yourselves a favor and google Dentists hand piece bearings, you can buy them in a bulk tube, they are good well above 50,000 rpm usually about 5 or 6 bucks ea.

    I have all three of the listed bearings and none of them are clearly better then the next. I will say the Boca ceramic are the loudest but that has no effect on performance.
