> 24 hourScrew holding in the pieces could be stronger. Works just fine but the first time I used it the screw backed off and then the bearing flow off. So I put it back together and tightened the screw a little bit more and that stripped the screw. I had the correct (included) Allen wrench so no issue on correct size there, seems to be just a weak screw head.

> 24 hourFirst 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.

> 24 hourThere 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.

> 24 hourI AM NOT A PROFESSIONAL WOODWORKER... I needed this bit for ONE task and it did extremely well. I dont know if this bit would hold up to long term use and I really cant compare it to any other brands but It exceeded my needs and expectations for the one job I needed it for.

> 24 hourGets the job done but each bearing falls apart every time I use it. Had to switch them all out with ones I already had.

> 24 hourFor 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.

> 24 hourWorks great with no tearout. Only complaint was the setscrew holding the bearing when shipped was so tight the allen wrench could not remove it. Had to use vice grips.

> 24 hourI 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.
