    router bits for $9.99

    I got 4 of the select ones from Rockler. They are their blue colored bits in 1/2" shank.
    They are listed on the back of the newest catalog.
    When you order, you have to put special instructions in the box at checkout and tell them to adjust the prices on the bits. I also listed the part numbers and asked them via email to email the corrected invoice.
    Why doesn't the word 'planing' show up in my computer spell check?

    Instead of four bits for $40, if you are looking for an assortment of good quality starter bits, for $40 then this set may be worth an alternative look

    http://www.mlcswoodworking.com/shops...et15piece.html

    They have free shipping and good quality bits and good customer service and do mainly bits and router accessories.

    if you need them the Rockler T-slot and Drawer corner lock are good deals at $10. But several of the bits for $10 are in the MLCS set of 15 for $40.

      I'd second the MLCS bits as being good, although not great they're really as good as they need to be for a hobby woodworker, and a solid value for the price.

        At that price, I'd jump on that if I didn't have most of them already. $ 2.66 per bit is ridiculously cheap.

          Those are good deals as well. Of the ones I got, the 2 bits that I wanted most were the flush trim with the top bearing and the drawer corner lock.

            What are the special instructions that need to be entered? Are there limitations as to which profiles can be purchased using this method?

              Just the ones listed on the back cover of the catalog.
              In the special instructions box I listed the bit numbers and told them to be sure and reprice them. I also listed the catalog code.
              Also, you won't get the free shipping because you cannot use this offer with any other offer.
