As a matter of interest I do not usually work with top bearing cutters In fact no bearings at all. I have two top bearing cutters 10mm and 19mm and for the reasons you have stated I do not even talk about them when I give demonstrations at woodshows.
I have enclosed samples of the cutters I use with the guides
