| Post subject: | Router cutter bearings |
I have 5 rabbet bits, that are 1 1/4in wide I/m looking for source for 1 1/8 in bearings or metric OD 29.5mm to be used on the rabbeting bits. 1 is 1/2 in shank and 4 are 1/4in shanks . Does anyone have a source for these bearings.? I want to try them, to see if I can get a better cut than my current 1/4in spiral down cut bits .Thanks |

Try routerbitworld, I know they have some bearings individually. Also, CMT have a set which uses different size adapters for a common bearing. |

Is there a reason for not just using a stewmac or LMII system? I know shear bits are better technically, but we've done a lot of guitars with the LMII bits without trouble, good clean lines and precise cutting depths. They are a bit more expensive, but they're designed for specific purpose, and they function well. It seems to me that you could circumnavigate a whole lot of fuss by buying bits and bearings specifically designed to do exactly what you need. |

The bearings are also available individually, so if you don't feel like springing for the whole set, if you have a single binding depth you're after, you can just get the one bit and bearing. I think it's been 2 yrs since I've needed a new bit. |

I have rabbet bits from LMI on my fixed ridgid rtr. and woodtek from woodworkers supply. But I want to extend the use of my other routers. I acquired a bunch of rabbet bits from a deceased woodworkers estate and would like to put them to use with the other rtrs that I have. They did not come with any bearings that can be used for loofery. I will start looking now, thanks for the suggestions . All the spare rabbet bits are 31.5 mm or ,1 1/4in wide . The bearings are 1 1/8in OD by 3/16in ID. If you know where I can find some ?? thanks |
