> 3 dayNice idea, and cheap to buy, BUT... The largest bearing was really not usable, very unstable and poorly made. I used it once and considered myself lucky; I will retire it now. The cutter is fine, and I havent used the smaller bearings although they look better. I need it for cutting guitar binding ledges, and ended up spending $120 on a set from Amana.

> 3 dayGood bit. Screw holding the bushings on the shaft was stripped. Had to drill it out to remove it so I could change the adapter to a different size. A bit annoying. Now they are just laying in the drawer since I cant put them back in the little shaft.

> 3 dayI used this to cut oak and it worked perfectly. I would recommend this rabbet bit for similar projects.

> 3 dayIm somewhat new to routers and bits. That being said, in my opinion, the quality and accuracy of this set is very acceptable for the money spent. Ive seen this set by other manufacturers costing up to 3x as much as this one. Id buy this set 3x over rather than spend 3x as much expecting 3x the accuracy and quality. Cuts precise and clean. The plastic box to house the set could have been larger but protects the bit itself and is acceptable. I am very happy with this purchase.

> 3 dayI have rabbeted about 50 feet of cabinet backs with a Dewalt router at speed setting 3 and the results are good. Clean cuts, no vibration and no tear out. As long as I dont run this bit at to high a speed I think the sharpness will last. The wrench that comes with the bit doesnt fit tightly so I used a 2.5mm wrench to loosen the bolt so I could change bearings. The bolt took considerable effort to initially break the torque, nothing I havent encountered with other new bits.

Greater than one weekOn the first use, the bearing fell off mid cut. Lesson learned. I should have paid more for a better bit.

> 3 dayThe screw isnt precisely machined so is a little tough to screw/unscrew when changing bearings (yes I cleaned it out). But the cuts are accurate. The lack of shear angle means taking smaller cuts is recommended vs hogging out much over 1/8 at a time, but it works fine.

> 3 dayBit may be inexpensive but it served its purpose well. I used this while making 4 table saw inserts. My plywood was too thick so i used this bit to cut a rabbet so the insert would sit flush. Plywood is rough on router bits and this survived 4 inserts. So the bit has paid for itself when considering the cost of factory made inserts. 4 inserts would have cost over $100. The only issue is some of the yellow paint flaked off so minus 1 star but really a great deal when compared to cost.

> 3 dayBearings change out easy. Overall quality isnt too high but for occasional use it will be just fine. If you intend to use a bit like this a lot or in a professional shop...Id probably get something nicer. What little Ive used mine so far, the cut has been good. Smooth and no issues. I just dont see it holding up under a lot of use. But I could be wrong. Hope I am.
