Used to make pocket cutouts for holding a deck of cards on 5 cribbage boards for my grandsons. I needed a 1/2 inch deep cutout so I made it in two passes. The initial pass had the bearing running on a template creating a 1/4 inch deep pocket and the second pass had the bearing running on the inside edge of the pocket resulting in a 1/2 inch deep pocket. Worked perfectly, the bearing is nice and sturdy and the carbide tip cutters promise nice sharp cuts for a long time.

However, you need to double check the bearing set screw first.
