So, as is typical for my backwards tool buying habits, it would have been nice to have a flush trim router bit for some recent shop shelving units. They're inexpensive enough that I don't really have an excuse not to get one soon. I can definitely foresee myself using the kind with the bearing at the end of the bit. But it would probably be nice to have one of each style. Then I noticed that Freud makes one with a bearing at either end for about twice the price of the one bearing models (a note on this price - the double bearing bit is a 3/4" cutter and the single bearing models were 1/2").
For a hobbyist, what are the advantages and disadvantages of getting the two-in-one bit vs the two separate bits?
FWIW my router is a 2 1/4 HP PC8729 plunge router.
