FivePears 1/2 Inch Shank Rabbet Router Bit with 6 Bearings Set, Adjustable Multiple Depths 1/8, 1/4, 5/16, 3/8, 7/16, 1/2 for Beginner DIY Woodwork …

Worked well. Although I only used one bearing, it did add versatility. I put it under some rough treatment (that a router bit shouldn’t) & it stood up great.

First off, I do not use these bearings in a router environment. I would if necessary, though. I do use the whole set still on the spindle with a couple of washers as spacers to balance mower blades. I found two sets online but had to have a 7/8 bearing for the center hole on my JD blades. These were the ones. Saw a Youtube video on this, and these work just fine. Couldnt believe the difference in my mowing experience after using these to balance my blades. Very inexpensive alternative to the $120-$180 super magnetic version. Very pleased.

So far so good. Appears to be decent quality.

I had really high hopes for this tool, but it was a total failure. The first time I tried to use it, I went to loosen the small (3 mm?) screw that holds the bearing onto the bit shaft, the screw head stripped. I was using the Allen key that they provided. They tightened the bearing screw soooo tight to the shaft, I couldn’t change out the bearing to the one I wanted to use. After reading other reviews, I now see that there are a bunch of people that have the exact same experience. Very disappointing.

Home wood working.

There is a small Allen head bolt at the end of the router bit with an included Allen wrench. This bolt is removed to change the bearings. The different bearings are how you change the rabbet depth. Unfortunately, this bolt was on so tight the Allen head immediately stripped out. As soon as it slipped the first time, I threw out the junk Allen wrench that came with it and used one of my good ones hoping I could still get enough purchase to loosen it but no luck. Buying a bit with multiple bearings is useless if you can’t change them out.

Bit and collars packaged in closable plastic containers. Bit performs very well and leaves a good clean rabbet.

The largest sized spacer in the pack worked great, but the next size down was too much of a difference in size and I was not able to control it well enough to prevent damage to the cutter. I had to take it to a professional. Were I to try this again, I would need to source a bearing that would be 2nd largest. There was two of the same size in the pack so they could have provided an alternate size.

For the cost, you cant beat it. I have used this to make multiple rabbet joints and it has performed flawlessly. I havent had it for a long time so I can speak to how long the edge will last, but so far Im very content with the product.

worked for job needed; satisfied.
