Wolfride Rabbet Router Bit Bearings Replacement Bearings for Router Bits | Inner Dia. 3/16” & Outer Dia. 3/8, 1/2, 5/8, 3/4, 7/8, 1, 1-1/8

Saved several bits. Had them sharpened and with new bearings better than new.

I mounted this horizontally on some shelving next to my bench grinder. I just drilled a hole slightly smaller than the shaft and then hammered it in. I use it to balance lawn mower blades while sharpening them. It just happens to have a bearing that fits the center hole on my Craftsman lawnmower perfectly. I trust this way more than those cheap balancers that have the blade rest flat on top of it. Those you have to eye ball level. Theyre probably good enough, but this thing doesnt leave much room for error. Either it rotates left or right and needs more metal removed, or it doesnt rotate and its balanced. I got the idea from seeing those ridiculously expensive wall mounted balancers and then going on youtube to see if there was a DIY version. Sure enough, some guy had a video using this item. Im sure you could fabricate some sort of magnet to keep the blade from falling off like the expensive ones, but Ive never had my blade fall off. The bearings are wide enough that the entire width of the blade is in contact with it. I only put it up there for a couple seconds, take it off and grind and then re-check until it doesnt move. The blade is never left there where it could be accidentally bumped off, I dont have anything I care about under it and I keep my hands close so i can grab it in the center, if for some reason it did pop off. Those magnets are pretty cool though. ;) Hope that helps you.

Fast delivery and works great

The internal and outside dimension are as advertised The bearing is somewhat loose and moves slightly in an out and side to side not anything significant that would make it functionally substandard. Overall a good purchase for the money paid and will work for the intended purpose. One wish is if they could include spacing washers. Those are hard to find and if a washer is damaged it needs a replacement together with the bearing.

Bought these last week for a special project I have going along with some bits. Less than six inches of work and the bearing I was using from the set flew apart. Happened to have the same size on an old bit I have and used it instead. Trimmed 40 feet of facia board without further trouble. Id give them no stars but looks like I might have to give them one. Am sure disappointed with the Wolfride bearings and am returning them for something else!

I paired these bearings with a set of flush trim bits so that I could route smaller and larger patterns when using a template. This worked very well, and the bearings will provide a smooth cut along the template or edge of materials. The set also comes with four replacement allen screws just in case you drop one and cant find it.

Nice to have when needed

Put the first bearing on a router bit, turned the router over and the seal fell out. Put on a 2nd bearing and this time the seal fell out after I turned the router on. Didnt even get to try them in action.

I like the fact that they are available and less expensive than most other brands and they seem to last longer also.

Dont buy if your are looking at good bearings without play ...
