NiteWalker:
That's why I love amazon.
ScottS:
It's not Amazon, but I got a flyer from Woodcraft which shows all Whiteside router bits at 20% off this month. Haven't compared their prices to routerbits.com so I'm not sure if that's a deal or not...
BTW, for those looking for tablesaws, the Ridgid saws at Home Depot have been getting very good reviews recently. Both the TS3650 contractor's saw and the TS2400 bench-top saws have been rated tops in their class by a number of different magazines.
NiteWalker:
Thanks scott. I was actually torn between the ridgid TS3650 and the delta I bought. I ended up siding with the delta (36-980) because of the better fence, solid cast iron wings, 4" dust port. The delta seemed like a better saw to me. I love it. But the ridgid is an excellent saw as well. I would've been just as happy if I chose it.
For router bits I go to Holbren. Excellent customer service, fast shipping and the best prices on the net. Free shipping btw. Brian (the owner) is a member over on woodnet so he's always looking out for fellow woodnetters. woodnet10 gets you 10% off as well, but be a good sport and join up at woodnet so no eyebrows are raised.
I get all my bits from holbren now. I used to get them from routerbits.com too, as they had the lowest prices on the net. I think even with woodcraft's discount the prices are still higher than those of holbren.

Its a little heavier-duty than the one NiteWalker posted, but right now, its actually about $10 cheaper. It'll take a larger shank, too.

The DeWalt DW235 is a nice drill, but keep in mind that it spins at 850 rpm max. That's about 1/3rd the speed of a normal drill; most cordless drills will go to around 2000rpm and corded drills to around 2500rpm. Granted, 850rpm is perfect for the large-diameter bits the drill was designed for. But painfully slow for "normal" sized holes.
