Woodworkers, does your router bit's guide bearing feel gritty, loose, or just won't spin like it used to? This little 5-pack of replacement bearings will get you back to making smooth, precise cuts in no time. These are standard bottom-mounted ball bearings designed for router bits with a 1/4-inch shank.
The specs are key: they have a 1/4-inch Inner Diameter (I.D.) to fit the arbor, a 1/2-inch Outer Diameter (O.D.), and a thickness of 3/16 inch. They come with the necessary stop rings (the little C-clips that hold them on). They're made from chrome steel to handle high RPMs.
Swapping them out is simple. Use a hex key to loosen the old stop ring, pop off the worn bearing, slide on a new one, and secure it with the ring. Just make sure the new bearing spins freely before you fire up the router. It's a cheap fix that breathes new life into your chamfer bits, flush trim bits, or round-over bits. Always keep a spare set in your workshop drawer!
