the router bit bearing saga
just a quick one about the 1-1/4-inch 1/4-inch shank bit flush trim bit
with top and bottom bearings that gets unruly at full revs. took off the end bearing and allen screw rev'd up to 23,000rpm and no problem with bearing back on all hell breaks loose my guess is that the ball-bearings are piling up on one side and cause things to get eccentric I may try some bearing swapping if I'm really bored |

@dont-email.me: just a quick one about the 1-1/4-inch 1/4-inch shank bit flush trim bit with top and bottom bearings that gets unruly at full revs. took off the end bearing and allen screw rev'd up to 23,000rpm and no problem with bearing back on all hell breaks loose Interesting. Sounds like a bad bearing. It could also be that the hole in the bearing is larger than the screw (i.e. it's not the right bearing for that bit) which is allowing the bearing to shimmy around. It could also be that the hole for the screw is not co-axial with the bit, forcing the bearing to be off- center. John |

Buy a complete bit for $5 and throw away the cutter. Lew |
