 Flush Trim Bit?
Hi guys & gals,
Well here I am with another bit (no pun intended) of confusion. I had ordered a 1/4" flush trim bit with bearing attached. I decided, for some unknown reason, to put my micrometer on the bit. Here is what I found. The shaft measured .250 (14"), so far so good. The shaft that the cutters are on measured .236 (no big deal). The distance across the cutters measured .270 (should that not be .250?). No comes the kicker, the dearing diameter measured .275 (17/64"). Am I being rediculously concerned that with a bearing diameter larger than the cutter diameter I am not going to get a true flush trim following a pattern. I know, I know, wood is wood and not metal.
