Review on πŸ”§ Freud Flush, 1/8-Inch, 1/4-Inch, 5/16-Inch, 3/8-Inch, 7/16-Inch, 1/2-Inch Depth Rabbeting Bit Set - Interchangeable Bearings - 1/2-Inch Shank (Model 32-526) by Kevin Bigelow

Great cutter, cheap bearings, done!

I built a tool box under the carpenter's workbench and decided to put the back of the carcass with the rabbit in it to put the back there. Since I had already assembled the box, I needed this cutter. The bat worked perfectly, cutting like clockwork. The bearings themselves have an aluminum OD, which is the outside dimension of the bearing. Yes, they look very cheap because they are, but they also won't work 24/7 for five years, should probably be fine for the application. The cutting bit is huge and heavy (see image) so run the router at a slower speed. RPM No place to store bearings except paper boxes; I deducted a star. Freud could have put bearings in this beautiful box - now I will do so by increasing the price I have in a set of cutters. I plan to embed/attach some rare earth magnets to the base to hold the bearings. Aside from the bearings in a thin cardboard box, the set is nice and well made from 3/4" birch plywood.
