Rabbet Bit Clarification

[kebler]

Please let me know if I understand the catalog correctly.  The Rabbet Bit (491022) comes with one 12.7 mm (1/2") bearing. The Bearing Set "Replacement" (491406) comes with five bearings (9.5 mm, 12.7 mm, 16 mm, 19 mm and 22 mm).  The word "replacement" is throwing me off.  Thanks!

I Think it's a grammatical technicality - Whenever you "replace" the bearing with a different diameter one, the rabbet dept changes.
But you probably already knew.

Regards,

The bearing set does come with 5 bearings.  One is the same size as the original on the bit.  That would make it a replacement versus an additional size.  Festool often refers to accessories that are shown in the catalog as replacements if the accessory was originally included as part of the tool kit or part of another accessory.
