 Great starter set July 3, 2010
Robert Campbell (Huntington Beach, CA)
The bits are sharp and well made. For the price of two bits purchased individually you get 15 good quality bits. The cuts are clean and true. How long will they stay sharp??? Only time will tell. I am very happy with this product.
Great starter set for a new router owner! June 14, 2010

I needed some straight bits for box joints and dados, so I purchased a kit instead of buying them individually to save money. This left me with several edge cutting bits I never would have bought on my own that now I might try along with a rabbeting bit I'm using quite frequently now. All the kit lacked for me was an 1/8" straight bit which I picked up inexpensively for 1/4 the cost of this 15 piece set.
Router Bits May 4, 2010
Frank J. Rozan (Butte, MT USA)
I recently purchased the 15 piece Carbide Tipped router bit set. This set contains enough bits to create just about any design your imagination could conjure up. I opted for the 1/2 inch shank because of the "Heft" compared to the 1/4 inch shank. My opinion is more is better. The box these come in is a nice addition to my tool display and very handy to store the bits in. If you are looking for quality at an affordable price, this set is for you. You could buy more expensive bits, or less expensive bits, but keep in mind you get what you pay for and this set is worth your money.
Sincerely,
Frank J. Rozan
 Not nearly as sharp as Freud April 28, 2010

You get what you pay for. Compared to a Freud bit, these bits appear dull. Other reviewers has indicated the same, but you need to realize you get what you pay for. This is a backup set for use at our son's home. I did not expect much. Nice case however.
As a comment to Amazon, would you please quit using USPS. Their tracking is useless and expected date is no better. We have it at our door when it is not expected for a few days later. Stick with UPS who is constantly reliable.
 appears decent quality April 17, 2010

The set seems to be of decent quality. The box is also of decent quality and
I feel I made a good purchase. I visually inspected each piece carefully and the grinding is of relatively nice quality.
There were a few tiny (looking really close) dings throughout the set on the cutting edges and a tiny waviness on one of the cutting edges. But I doubt that they will have any significant impact on performance. The bearings don't seem to be of exceptional quality but perhaps they will be sufficient. I am new to using a router so I don't have a super-quality brand bearing to compare. Maybe given the high speed routers run they need to feel slightly looser than in another bearings' application. Also, I can't determine the quality of the metallurgy by looking at it.
Overall, you get what you pay for but I'm confident this will be a great starter set.
