    however I find that the Holbren set is better than the MCLS for my needs. Example : MCLS has 3 dovetail bits, which would be fine for sliding dovetails but even there I use the bits that fit my DT jig. I don't see the need for 10% of the bits to be DT bits. I find the Holbren set to be very useful and well thought out.
    Though this may cause heated debate, it seems that the Holbren and MCLS bits are pretty much the same.
    Thanks Jeffrey. That set is not the standard 35 piece imported set with a bunch of bits with no bearings because they are cheaper to produce. I consulted with a handful of woodworkers to try and get good set of usable bits. I purposely only put one dovetail bit in there and it should be the most popular.

    Only thing missng was they were supposed to put a 3/8" bearing in the box to turn all the roundover bits into beading bits. Maybe next time.
