Yep,
Scamp uses them as well. Although Chinese bearings have come a long way, coming from a mechanical/machinist background, I still prefer American-made bearings.
From experience, I feel the "china" grease may be a culprit in a lot of situations (Dexter uses a good grade of grease they tell me).
Case-in-hand on grease: I bought a Harbor Freight lathe/mill combo. After a few years, the bearings got really LOUD. I replaced them. But what I found in tear-down was the china grease had become "rocks"...no lubricity what so ever. If they had been properly lubed, I'm sure the original bearings would still be running.
