Question about router bits
« on: August 01, 2007, 09:48:16 pm »
So I went to the local home depot and Lowe's and it was going to run $25 - $35 for the 3 router bits I wanted. I'm thinking that for the fairly limited use I'd have for them it would be a better value to by a cheap set of bits off eBay.

Here's a sampling. Any suggestions?

EBay link 2

EBay link 3

EBay link 4

Also thinking of upgrading my impossible to adjust, 25 year old, crappy craftsman router.
Maybe this?

Let me know if this should be in the woodworking forum, and thanks in advance.

It should definitely be in the woodworking forum.
Check this place out. Good deals, and free shipping on individual items. I've had good luck with them.

I definately second the notion of MLCS.  Not only are the prices right, but free shipping is a plus also.

And as far as upgrading your ruter.  If its going to have "limited use", why not just go with a $50-60 Ryobi or Black & Decker?

Try holbren.com

A while ago they had a nice basic set shipped for $20.  add a nice slot cutter for another $10 or so and your done.

Yup, mlcswoodworking has always been good to me. super fast shipping, the cheapest prices I can find on the net. I have bought four bits from them and always got good products and service. ;D
They treated me like an animal and that's what I became.
