    undersized (plywood) router dado set

    This seems to be a great deal. I have been wanting to get away from the somewhat unsafe methods I have been using to cut dados for the bottoms and tops of book cases on my cabinet saw. Now I have no excuse, and neither do you!

    I ordered two sets myself, as I intend to wear them out.

    Boy that does seem cheap but are they are good. Anybody ever use this brand before? If any good I'd sure consider trying a set.

      I have that set it works awesome. Customer service is top notch too! I purchased the set and months later he sent me a replacement 1/4 inch bit because OTHERS (not me) have reported problems with the small bit.

      At that price, even if they only worked for a few projects and then you tossed them to get another set, it would still be worth it.

        While I don't have this set, I have a few other Holbren bits. I haven't used any for all that long, but so far the cut quality has been good. Support and prices were excellent, and the owner is a frequent poster on here. Definatley reccommended.

          Ditto what James said. I also have this set and it is totally awesome!

            Hi Coach;
            Brian is a great guy to do business with as the others have said. I'd buy them in a minute but I already have two sets from him! Even if they aren't better than others or priced less, I would still give Brian my business. He stands by his products and gives great personal sevice.

                Highly recommended. I don't have this set, but have bought other bits from Brian.

                  Just curious what the shipping is. Is it a flat rate or based on zipcode?

                    When I checked yesterday the shipping was free. Can't beat that!

                      I used the 15/32 bit last night on some red oak....

                      I couldn't believe how smooth it cut.

                      highly recommeded.

                            Due to the good comments above, I purchased this set. I had a good laugh when they showed up yesterday. I thought I was buying a dado blade for my saw, not router bits!!

                            Doesn't matter since I need router bits anyway. But I gotta pay more attention next time....
