Hickory Woodworking RBK1031 24-Piece Carbide Master Router Bit Set, 1/2" Shank
It seems like a large set for some different uses, at a cheap price.
Does this seem like a reasonable starter set of bits?
Thanks louis

The Hickory Woodworking 1/2-inch, 24-piece router bit set comes in a handy reusable case and includes the most popular types and sizes of bits:
3/8" keyhole bit used for plunge cutting keyhole-shaped mounting slots in items such as picture frames and plaques.
1/4", 3/8", 1/2", and 3/4" straight bits used for plunge cutting, and to make a wide variety of grooves and joints, such as rabbet joints, grooves and dadoes, lap joint, box joint, tongue & groove joints.
90 degree 1/2" V-Groove bit used to cut veins in panels or drawer fronts. Can also be used to plunge cut. By using a fence this bit can also be used to chamfer.
3/8" & 1/2" dovetail bits used to make blind, through, sliding, and variable space dovetail joints in projects such as drawers, jewelry boxes, shadow boxes, and furniture.
1/4" & 1/2" Core Box (round nose) bits used for fluting, grooving, veining, and sign making. If used with an edge guide or fence, this bit can also produce cove style edges and joints.
1/2" flush trimmer bit with bearing used for fast, accurate trim cuts of laminates and veneers
1/8", 1/4", 3/8" & 1/2" round over bits with bearings used to make uniform rounded edges for projects such as shelves, tables and stair treads. Also to make a half round cut by removing bearing, and making two passes, one on each side of the wood. By changing to a 3/8" bearing, the round over bit converts to a beading bit to create edges for furniture, chair rails, drawer fronts, and moldings.
7/8" rabbeting bit with bearing used to produce inset doors and drawer faces, and to make lap joints.
5/32" Roman ogee bit with bearing used for decorative edges on moldings, signs, plaques, and furniture.
1/4" & 3/8" cove bits with bearings used to make decorative edges on drawer fronts, cabinet doors, moldings, and furniture pieces.
1/4" ovolo (beading groove) bit used to make decorative edges in moldings and furniture. Used to cut the decorative groove in French Provincial style doors and cabinets.
1/2" hinge mortising bit used to make mortises when cut is started at the edge of the material, and for surfacing operations and projects requiring effective chip clearance.
45 degree 1-1/4" chamfer bit with bearing used for laminate trimming, edge forming, edge gluing to make bevel cutting easier, or make custom four-sided items such as fishing rod holders.
1/4" panel pilot bit used to cut wood, plywood, aluminum sheets, insulation, and drywall. Point drills through for self-starting blind hole routing, and the pilot acts as a guide for template work.
3/16" half round bitused to achieve special effect shelve edges, stair treads, sills, etc.
