Wolfride Rabbet Router Bit Bearings Replacement Bearings for Router Bits | Inner Dia. 3/16” & Outer Dia. 3/8, 1/2, 5/8, 3/4, 7/8, 1, 1-1/8

Saw this on a You Tube Vid being used as a mower blade balancer and glad I did. I mounted it on a 2x4 at one end of the shelving in my basement. Drilled a level 1/4 hole a little over an inch deep and pushed the shank in the hole. Tried it out today and it worked great !

I actually am using this array of bearings as a mount for balancing mower blades. Works great in this application! Happy Dude right here!

This set of Wolfride Rabbet Router Bit Bearings worked perfectly for us. The set allowed us to utilize several of our previous owned standard router bits in more effective and efficient ways which ends up saving money from purchasing more single use bits.

I mounted this horizontally on some shelving next to my bench grinder. I just drilled a hole slightly smaller than the shaft and then hammered it in. I use it to balance lawn mower blades while sharpening them. It just happens to have a bearing that fits the center hole on my Craftsman lawnmower perfectly. I trust this way more than those cheap balancers that have the blade rest flat on top of it. Those you have to eye ball level. Theyre probably good enough, but this thing doesnt leave much room for error. Either it rotates left or right and needs more metal removed, or it doesnt rotate and its balanced. I got the idea from seeing those ridiculously expensive wall mounted balancers and then going on youtube to see if there was a DIY version. Sure enough, some guy had a video using this item. Im sure you could fabricate some sort of magnet to keep the blade from falling off like the expensive ones, but Ive never had my blade fall off. The bearings are wide enough that the entire width of the blade is in contact with it. I only put it up there for a couple seconds, take it off and grind and then re-check until it doesnt move. The blade is never left there where it could be accidentally bumped off, I dont have anything I care about under it and I keep my hands close so i can grab it in the center, if for some reason it did pop off. Those magnets are pretty cool though. ;) Hope that helps you.

Put the first bearing on a router bit, turned the router over and the seal fell out. Put on a 2nd bearing and this time the seal fell out after I turned the router on. Didnt even get to try them in action.

Buy it if you need it. Worked well for me.

I have these on standby to turn regular 1/2 bits into pattern/ flush trim bits.

These perform well enough for me. I use them for routing binding channel for guitars where even little mistakes are not acceptable. They work in that situation just fine.

for a mower blade balancer I added a 5mmID x 1mm thick washer between each bearing on the 3/16 shaft because as-shipped the bearings stick together somewhat, causing the whole gang to rotate rather than just the bearing the mower blade hangs on. because the increased thickness of the added washers (5 total), I had to leave off 1 bearing.

Helped me get through a project. These bearings are not all the same brand. It is a mix of brands. Some of them were decent quality, and some of them were not that great. Would give it a 3.5 star if I could.
