Holbren Router Bit Sale

[ssmith1627]

I've been very happy with the 1/2" 35-piece set that I got just a few weeks ago.

I've used the roundover bits and some of the straight bits. I don't have much experience with all this so not a lot to compare with but certainly been happy with the results so far.

Just an example:

And I agree, he was very friendly and easy to deal with which is almost as important as the quality of the bits themselves.

Just ordered a set of the 25 pc 1/4 inch shank bits and had a question about shipping charges. Did anyone else's shipping charges increase from what was quoted in the cart after the order was processed?

I noticed that the shipping for the 36 piece 1/4 set was $6.72 (or so) when I put it in the cart - then it was $11.70-something after I had a hiccup with my credit card. It's probably for the best, tonight's shopping spree needed to come to halt . Maybe a hiccup with the data from UPS?

Oh great! Price goes down before I even get the ones I just ordered. Not complaining though, it's either the post office or the border's slowness, most likely the border's. I gotta say, Brian is the best guy I've had the pleasure to deal with in a VERY long time. had a problem ordering via website, he emailed me about a dozen times trying to straighten it out, then finally called me at home to take my info personally. That is customer service from a long gone era. Very much appreciated, Brian! You'll definitely get my return business and word of mouth.

There are some great deals there.
I plan on getting a few of the speicalized bits.
I got some other bits during the moving sale last year and they were nice.
Does anyone have any experience with the 24pc 1/4 shank set?
I have a friend that is looking for a starter set, and that price is awesome.
I have a craftman set that I am satisified with. so if this is as good or better then he will be happy.

The 1/2" shank set is a GREAT deal! If I didn't already have more bits than I know what to do with, I'd be all over it...

I need to stop looking at this site on payday. I ordered the flush trim bit and the pattern bit. He is sold out of the rabbiting set.

It just goes to show this is the best .....and the worst......website on the internet ! lol

I'm having a heck of a lot of fun but is this hobby actually cheaper than a crack habit ? I'm sure enjoying it but I see divorce court and debtor's prison on the horizon........lol

It's not cheaper than a crack habit, but at least you'll be able to remember what you've been doing...

Yep, the same thing happened to me. It was only about a dollar more so no big deal.

Nope, mine was the same. Bought the dovetail set and a couple of individual bits.

Ordered the 1/4" set for Kyle.w today.

just a heads up to ber real easy with these.

finally got around to using one of the bits from the 24pc 1/4" set today(if this is the same orange set).
i just now was using the 1/2" straight bit cutting the "clamp slots" in the ultimate tool station.
maybe i was taking to deep a cut(1/4" or so passes through mdf" or pushed a bit too much at that moment , i dont think so, but the bit cracked in half flush with the 1/4" collet insert on the m12v. man im just glad this wasnt in a router table.
anyhow it went without incident, just dropped out the other side of the dado slot.
think im sticking to 1/2" shanks for now on though!
i ordered more bits last week that will get here soon, that 1/2" shank straight bit set is get soem good use as soon's it arrives`
