Hello all. I was wondering if anyone knew if the bearings sold for the LMI binding channel router bit set would fit on the Stew-Mac router bit? Maybe someone could put the old micrometer to the bearings (LMI) and check for thickness and aparture dimensions. The reason I'm asking (for the curious) is that I buy exclusively from LMI now since I don't have to pay duties on their products here in Canada... Thanks in advance. |

I do not know for sure but typicaly the pilot bearing shank of most bits are the same dia. So I would think that they would but if call StewMac and LMI they would be happy to tell you the diamater of the bearing shank, I bet. |

I'm pretty sure they do not fit. I have the LMI set, and the school where I TA has the Stew-Mac set. I can check next week if you remind me. I'm about 99% sure they do not fit each other. I know the rabbet set that I sell fits the LMI bearings. I'm all out of these sets, and not sure if I'll ever get them again. Tracy |

They will not fit. Also the bits themselves are not the same diameter. |

I must stand corrected here after doing sone reasurch. I guess I have been just plan lucky. I have the LMI binding bit and several other differing dia. piloted bits from more than one manufacturer. I think most are P.C. bits and the bearings from my LMI bit set fits all of them. I do not have the Stewmac bit. As I said I guess I have bee just dumb luck
