Our Binding Cutter/Bearing kit can be purchased in several configurations: the SPCPCN bearing kit (includes cutter), the SPCPCNAUX auxillary kit (doesn’t include cutter), or the the cutter and bearings can be purchased separately. The cutter is a specially designed 1” router cutter with carbide cutting tips. The bearings are accurately machined steel wheels press fit onto ˝” bearings. These bearing/wheels are attached to the cutter with a small Allen cap screw and yield a multitude of binding/purfling ledges. The resulting ledge is easily and accurately cut each time with almost no thought. Just measure the width of the binding or binding and purfling combination, choose the appropriate bearing/wheel, attach the bearing/wheel to the bottom of the cutter and start routing.

Our customer Ross had this to say about this tool: ”I just wanted to drop you an e-mail to let you know just how pleased I am with your binding cutter and bearing kit. I used it for the first time today and the whole operation was a piece of cake. The cut was clean as a whistle and the cutter didn’t grab a bit when I used a climb cut. I’m very pleased and impressed.”
