Ive had good luck with woodcraft bits, mlcs bits arent too bad and eagle american are ok also. if you want a good bit you will pay for it. stay away from the box sets too many bits you wont use. two or three profile bits can be used together to make lots of custom trim.

For real enjoyment, try one of Frued's 2+2 designed bits. If you're using the bits for router table use, choose the 1/2 inch shanks. Hope this helps. Good luck, Dave</div>
<div>Hello Dave. The results of the comparison article I mentoined were that the Freud bits gave the best service.</div>

<p>I have been reading all sorts of articles on router bits and every tom dick and harry wants to sell 100 -150 set bits for 100.00 Well for a dollor a bit you can imagine what youll get maybe two or three passes and it is dull. So What I di is buy a bit when you need one and but a good heavy carbide. Bfore you no it you'll have a nice collection.I think wood magazine had a article on biit selection a while back. Il'l check my library and post it if I find it</p>

Well, congratulations - I couldn't afford it. Just for grins I tried counting them up last night and there are about 135, give or take, of various profiles and configurations. I needed to develop a way of getting reasonable quality at affordable prices.<br/><br/><cite>Chad Robbins said:</cite>

<p>Hello Jack;</p>
<p>The December/ January issue # 69 of the Canadian Woodworking & Home Improvment magazine featured an article about router bit comparisons. I found it very enlightening and have a better idea as what bits to purchase in the future. I could not find the article on line and did not have time to do a lot of searching, but if you log on to the following web : <a href="http://www.canadianwoodworking.com">www.canadianwoodworking.com</a> you could contact the publishers and…</p>

I could not find the article on line and did not have time to do a lot of searching, but if you log on to the following web : <a href="http://www.canadianwoodworking.com">www.canadianwoodworking.com</a> you could contact the publishers and inquire if it is available on line. The issue can also be purchased on line. Vol. 20, Issue 115 of Shopnotes ( the current issue) also has a very good article on modular router bits, and i do believe this can be found on line. Hope this helps.</p>

<p>I used Black and decker for years and was shocked to see the quality of this set, black and decker should be ashamed to put there logo on this type tools, Read some reviews on the amazon and and make up your own judgement. also If buying the bearing type be ready to replace the bearings soon.</p>

I haven't used them myself but I believe they are the ones that also provide Harbor Freight bits. From the Amazon reviews most of the complaints were about the box... what that has to do with bit quality escapes me.<br/><br/><cite>Brandon Maxwell said:</cite>
