Review on Whiteside Router Bits 2010N Non Marring by Luke Hodes

I'm not sure if the nylon bearing was defective, unsuitable for this application or just a bad idea, but it failed miserably when rounded over the edge of a hard countertop. 3 1/4 hp Hitachi motor worked under top speed and the nylon portion of the bearing disappeared during operation. I could see something was wrong, but with the smaller metal bearing that the plastic was once attached to still intact, I completed the pass and it took me a minute to figure out what had happened. It was a sight to behold, took hours to repair and was probably the last I'll ever ride with anything other than stock stock. I put a standard bearing on the bit and it works and cuts great as you would expect from Whiteside, but this isn't the first issue I've had with one of their bearings.
