Having ball bearings on router bits for hand-held routing helps guide the bit along along a template or edge, but are not common in CNC applications where precision is control by the machine. Most CNC-specific bits like the RC-2483, RC-2486, and RC-2481 do not require bearings, focusing on precision-ground carbide for accuracy. If your job requires a template guided cut, than a bearing option is the answer. In my shop I use many of the above mentioned bits and they work great. The key to a great outcome is using quality bits.
