Straight Router Bit with Bearing, Wolfride 4PCS Flush Trim Template Router Bit 1/4-Inch Shank Top Bearing Pattern Router Bit

The tiny screw that holds the bearing on comes loose from the clamp during cuts. Then the bearing rides up the shaft and wrecks your cut. If I could leave this zero stars I would. Defective product has cost me 10 times more money than I paid, and not one of the bits finished a cut before breaking.

While using the 1/2” bit on my first job in a piece of oak, the bearing disintegrated at 6 minutes. Now I’m stuck with a partially finished router job and I’m researching new bits. Should have realized that it was too good a deal to be true. Returning and looking for something else.

Overall the router bits are good. They provide good clean cuts. My only problem was that the set screw in one of the bits came out after only a little bit of use. I grabbed the set screw from one of the other bits and continued on.

If you need a cheap set of straight router bits for a job or two and don’t want to invest in a nicer set, this is for you. If you plan on using these consistently, they will dull and break. Upon initial purpose, they were sharper and performed better than expected.

Didnt cut through anything, dont buy this item.

I used the one router bit to mortise the sides of custom shelves I am making in my basement. I used the bit in conjunction with a homemade jig I made. It worked great. So far, the router bit did exactly what I needed it to do. After routing about 18 shelf slots in 1x8 pine, the bit is still sharp. You cant beat the price. A real value for the money.

Used to cut hand holes in wood boxes using a cut template. Made each hole the same. Great tool. Saved me having to use the jigsaw 10 times.

bits are well constructed and cut nicely, but the 1/4 pattern bit is just over 3/8. Keep this in mind if actually using it for pattern routing, your template may be too thin for use with this.

Bearing seized up after cutting 180 of plywood.
