Review on CMT 852 501 11B Planer - Enhanced Bearing Diameter for Improved Performance by Jeff Kersey

Actual stock will vary significantly from that shown in the description. Of course I understand that in the picture the descriptions of the bits have a different diameter. What I don't like about the actual bit I received is that the bearing is very short (a small height of bearing in contact with the MDF template will result in an indentation in the template) and the bearing is relatively far from the Removed underside of cutter (gives a shallower depth of cut option during the first pass). The bearing on the description picture is the main reason I ordered this bit - the tall bearing to reduce wear on the template and the close proximity of the bearing to the cutter. The bit I received is exactly the same as a different brand bit I already have. I'm sure this bit is of very high quality but the picture is misleading.
