Holy cheeze whiz Batman!

Retail on my Skil 30 pc 1/4" shank set is the same as that... Now if only the MLCS 66pc 1/2" shank set would get that low...

Here's the link that gives referral credit back to BT3Central... Looks like other buying options have it for $10 less, but then there's shipping you have to add...

alex,

when i originally post the link, i wanted to do that credit thing, but couldnt get anything on the search.

i know you explained it once before, how do you do that so bt3 get some credit?

thanks!

If I hadn't just spend a zillion dollars at Holbren's router bit blow-out a while back, I'd be all over this one.

Oh, just click the "link generator" link in my signature (sometimes it takes a sec to load), add the amazon product ID (10 characters and often starts with "B"), select an image size, etc. Copy/paste the BBCode result into your post. Let me know if you have any problems with it!

thanks alex, i will try it out!

Use?

Do those who buy these mass sets, actually end up using most of these bits?
My observation is not...

I'd hazard a guess that the vast majority don't use them all, but the price is attractive and at least this big set only costs about the same as most smaller sets. The quality is largely an unknown though.

That is actually part of the beauty. You now have nearly every router bit you will ever need, so when you are in the middle of a project and realize you need a specific bit, you don't have to wait for mail order or pay big bucks at the local store.

Then, when you wear a handful of these out, you now know which Whiteside bits to buy from Holbren!

To me, a worn out cheap tool is a happy thing, but a high quality tool that gathers dust is a tragedy.
