Product Description
CMT 791.006.00 Bearing 16mm - 5mm by CMT is a precision replacement guide bearing designed for use with router bits. With a 16mm outer diameter, 5mm bore diameter, and 5mm plate thickness, this steel bearing serves as a reliable guide component for flush trim, pattern, rabbeting, and profile router bits. Keeping your router bit running true along a template or workpiece edge, this replacement bearing helps restore accurate, smooth performance to worn or damaged router bit setups on both handheld routers and router tables.
Key Features
- Steel construction - provides durability and resistance to the stresses of repetitive routing operations, helping the bearing hold up through demanding woodworking tasks.
- 16mm outer diameter - sized to guide cleanly along template and workpiece edges, making it a practical replacement for flush trim, pattern, and profile bit applications.
- 5mm bore diameter - fits the appropriate bit shaft for a secure, properly centered mount that keeps the bearing aligned during routing passes.
- 5mm plate thickness - matches the original bearing profile so the replacement integrates seamlessly with compatible CMT router bits without altering cutting geometry.
- Black shield orientation indicator - the black shield must face the correct direction to correspond with bearing rotation during reassembly, helping ensure proper function after replacement.
Why This Product
- Restores accurate self-guiding performance to worn CMT router bits, letting you achieve clean, consistent cuts along templates and workpiece edges without replacing the entire bit.
- The 16mm outer diameter and 5mm bore are precisely matched dimensions, reducing guesswork when sourcing a replacement bearing for compatible CMT router bits.
- Steel construction means the bearing can withstand the rotational forces and heat generated during extended routing sessions, making it a practical long-term replacement solution.
- Clear reassembly guidance - the black shield orientation detail helps users reinstall the bearing correctly, reducing the risk of premature wear or poor performance after servicing a bit.

Frequently Asked Questions
What router bit types is this bearing intended for?
This bearing is used as a guide bearing on flush trim, pattern, rabbeting, and profile router bits, where it rides along a template or workpiece edge to control the cutting path.
What is the correct way to reinstall this bearing after servicing?
During reassembly, the black shield must be kept right side up to correspond with the bearing rotation. Orienting it incorrectly can cause the bearing to perform poorly or wear prematurely.
What are the key dimensions of this bearing?
The bearing has a 16mm outer diameter, a 5mm bore diameter, and a 5mm plate thickness. Confirm these dimensions match the original bearing on your router bit before installing.
What is this bearing made of?
The CMT 791.006.00 bearing is made of steel, which provides the strength and durability needed to withstand the rotational forces encountered during router bit operation.
