Not tapered roller bearings - angular contact bearings for the X/Y, I
don't remember the exact model numbers offhand but I got them from
McMaster-Carr. Rockford Ballscrew also sells a 'kit' which includes the
angular contact bearings and a set of shims for setting the preload (I
made my own shims).

I used tapered roller bearings for the quill.
