Re: Router Bearings

Post by tippie53 »

there are plenty of units that work . Some work better than others . Lets say there are 2 kinds , adjustable and bearing. On Pilots the bearing is all you have so you need a pile of them. On adjustables the cresent must be kept in mind.
Both work differently but both will work. The key is in holding the bit parallel to the side without riding up on the radius of the back . As long as you can control the 2 variables you can do any purfling

Here's pics. Feel free to tear me up I'm just looking for the best type. I went to this after my unsteady hand messed some channels. I was using Ken's router attachment but like I said I too unsteady works great other than that.
