hi biloxi tom here,
so here it is. i can't believe the cost of top bearing (pattern type bits) bits. do they sell bearing kits for 1/4" shaft bits? i am trying to put a semi circle on end of 2x4 so if i can't find a bottom bearing bit of at least 1 1/2" to use in my router table i figure i would template both sides and use a 1" top bearing bit and trim up (less than 1/16") from each side top and bottom and sand off what little variance there might be. could i just put a bearing on a straight bit or do i have to pay 20+ dollars for a bit (a low quality one at that i am sure)? do they make long (top or bottom) bearing bits that would trim 1 1/2" of pine? thanx to all thinking about this. have a wild and wonderful day!
