Looks like I make a trip to Woodcraft tomorrow.

Got some yesterday - pattern cutting, cove, beading.

They are 1/2" so pretty good - comparable to any of the higher priced ones.

Picked up 5 of them on Tuesday. Tough to go wrong for $5 each!!

free shipping...

Just a quick note for those of you without a Woodcraft near you...you can now pick up these bits for $5 apiece with free shipping from woodcraft.com...from their website:

"Our gift to you... FREE ground shipping on any order ends 11/29/2006 "

Just put in my order...

I will have to check that out, no Woodcraft in LA county.

UPDATE
I want the pattern bit shown on the web page and the ad but the price is not $5? I can look it up under the # but shows $19.99?
Also is the drill press lazer any good?

Me too. I need a cove bit and have been thinking about getting a bullnose.

I'm guessing these Woodcraft bits are pretty decent, since they normally sell for 2X or more the sale price. Does anyone have any experience with carbide router bits from Harbor Freight? I saw a set of 25 bits (1/4" shank) on sale for $49.99, normally $69.99.

I have quite a few 1/2" bits, and would like a set of 1/4" for another router I have. They are painted and look decent enough, but I am usually very suspicious of anything from HF. I do buy their nitrile gloves, and I've bought a number of their aluminum bar clamps, and other mundane items. So far I've steared clear of tools/blades/bits.

Thanks!

DON'T do HarborFreight bits! For the money, buy from Holbren. He was closing out some 1/4" sets for $45 because the box was damaged. The quality is 3 times better. Cheap bits make any tool cheap. Better bits will get the max out of any router or saw.
