Hi Marc to isolate the bearing you must move the fence forward to the point where the
bearing is untouched when you slide a stick/or straight edge from one side of the fence accross the bearing to the other side of the fence. That insures that the bearing is not in play while the cut is being made. You can only advance the material from right to left when making the cut. If the material is narrow, it must be backed up with a push block, while making the cut. A bit with a bearing should be used when you are working with out a router table, or with a safty starter pin placed in the table near the bit. Hopp this helps.. Woodnut65 |
