Seems like good prices for both of those, but how do they get away with calling it a "4-piece router bit set" when there are only three bits? Do they count the case as the fourth piece, or the extra bearing?

Note The Router Bit Set Is 1/4" Shank.

Under "more images" they show the case with four items mounted in it : bit, bit, bit, hex wrench. Agreed, slightly deceptive.

Shame on them...

Not shame

A Hex upon them. (sorry, I couldn't resist)

Unc, this kind of thing is not unusual for Rockler. In the past they have made errors on sale announcement and then blamed their customers when they tried to take advantage of their offer. Recently they had a "two day sale" that effectively was a few hours sales as they failed to include in the announcement that the offer was only good on a limited supply. Nothing wrong with having a limited supply offering but that fact should be stated up front not after the fact and don't call it a 2 day sale unless you have enough product available to last more than a few hours. I don't like the way they do business and my purchases from them reflect that.

I'm impressed they're only calling it a 4 piece set. Most places count the spare bearings, the CD, and the case. This would be called an 8 piece set anyplace else.

I don't have that set of setup bars (I have some Whiteside ones) but if you are a router table user and contemplating whether setup bars will help you, they will absolutely help you. I consider mine close to indispensable. Easily worth 10 bux.

I am not sure when these bars would be used. Could you give some examples. I did order the metal rule depth guage for router and table saw heigth because I can definitly see use, but want to know more about bars and I may decide to get them too. Thanks
