t-molding Slot cutter with or without bearing?
(1/2) > >>

Hello
I want to put t-molding on my cabinet, but don't know a lot about routing.  Is it necessary to have a bearing on the router bit?
Here are the 2 bits I am looking at (one has a bearing the other doesn't)

I am looking at the 1st one on both pages, the 1/16" bit.
Any thoughts?
Many thanks

You need the one with the bearing.

The other is designed for use with a table fence that controls the depth of the cut and keeps the edge of the board from coming into contact with the spinning arbor.

I just  got one with the bearing, and it works great.  Took no time at all to do the job.  Just make sure your cutting the right direction.
