Using a metal bracket, I've adapted a bearing follower from an old hand router. It can be very useful for curve millings when you don't have a flush trim router bit or for other special milling. You can also use a 608 bearing, a bracket and a couple of screws.

Yo he adaptado el rodamiento y accesorio de una vieja fresadora junto con una escuadra de metal, pero podría fabricarse fácilmente en casa con un rodamiento 608, una escuadra y un par de tornillos. Es muy útil para realizar fresados curvos cuando no disponemos de la fresa adecuada con rodamiento palpador.

Hello, friends I had an idea - I need to design a stationary bearing (adjustable vertically and horizontally) for my router table!
Unfortunately, I did not find any information on this subject on the Internet!
Can anybody help me ???
P.S. A photo of my idea of a stationary bearing for a router table! I'm afraid that my design will not be strong enough with respect to lateral pressures!

hi Leonid,
as you can see, I've adapted the bearing of an old router and I don´t have problems with the lateral pressures.
I think your design is perfect, you can do a test with any material to try it. If required you can add another screw in both regulation system.
Send us pics when you finish to see the final result.

Yes, I will experiment with this in the near future. If I get something, I'll publish photos here!
This photo was found on the Internet!
This design is without bearing!

hi again, nice pics...
taking the bearing system of the first photo and the arm of the second photo I think it can works!
Keep in mind that the system of the second pic is for interior millings, you can combine both systems.
