    Holbren 6-piece "thumbnail" bit set for $20 shipped

    This may be more of a bargain "awareness" than an alert, but it's a bargain nonetheless. I just received this sweet 6 piece thumbnail bit set from Holbren. It's $20 shipped, the bits look terrific, and the price is incredible....basically for the price of one bit, you get a set of decent quality bits of a handy profile. To put the sizes into perspective, the largest bit has a cutter height of 1-5/16", which is bigger in person than it looks in the pic.

    I have not tried any from this set yet, but I've tried several other Holbren bits with good results...never been disappointed in the value or his service.

    just curious, what do you plan tot use the thumbnail set for?
    Rounding the edges of panels, table tops, etc? without completely radiused roundovers?

      Hey Loring - I'm building a linen cabinet for our bathroom and will use one of the larger profiles on the edge of the 1-1/16" thick top.

      I didn't realize they even had the set and had ordered a single profile...
      In typical Holbren fashion, Brian sent the whole set which is literally just a couple bucks more!

            Thanks for the heads up on these bits! Brian has some really great specials.

            I was able to order a set this afternoon.

            My goal in life is to _actually_ use each and every router bit that I have<g>!
