Many old woodworking machines made before the 1940's contained Babbitt bearings . While many people shy away from machines with Babbitt bearings due to the uncertainty of this kind of bearing, very often you can get a good buy on these machines and if the bearings are in good shape and properly cared for, they are just as good (if not better) than ball bearings.

I once read an article in a woodworking trade magazine from the late 1930's where babbitt and ball bearings were compared to one another on a woodworking jointer. To keep things fair, the magazine obtained two identical jointers from the same manufacturer with one exception - one machine had the old style Babbitt bearings while the other had modern ball bearings. The article concluded that after examining lumber face planed over both machines that the Babbitt bearing machine actually had a slightly smoother surface. While the differences were not striking, the main point is that Babbitt bearings are not a bad thing.
