    I'm with you Paul. At 3/16" diameter you just drop it in near each tab and its neatly gone in a second. Also brilliant for onion skin jobs as it cant jam. Bearings are under four bucks and last a long time provided you dont force them through onion skins. Amana also has a 3/16" bearing on a 45 degree chamfer bit. This is great on models etc. Amazon also sell both of these.

    Thanks for that tidbit- took some digging but found replacement bearings at ToolsToday. For half the price of a new bit, I have two sets of bearings, nuts and lock washers on the way so I can revive this bit.

    I do think it's an optimal solution if I can keep from burning those tiny bearings so quickly!

    I use one of those bits and the bearing seems to last as long as
    you keep it lubed with dry lube.
