Where to buy Holbren bits?

[krogers]

I want to buy a set of Holbren r-bits? Is there a link to that site through bt3central.com or should I just go directly to holbren.com? I thought there used to be a link that gave bt3 some sort of credit? Is/was that correct or am I having some sort of brain fade?

[Knottscott]

Holbren.com should work, but does BT3Central benefit from using a link if they have one?

No brain fade on your part...there used to be a Holbren banner ad. I haven't seen it since the site conversion.

No brain fade on your part...there used to be a Holbren banner ad. I haven't seen it since the site conversion.

I noticed the same thing and meant to ask Brian about it the other day.
The only add that ever shows is the Rockler add.

[Holbren]

I paid Sam a yearly fee for the banner, no pay per order like Rockler or Amazon.

The website is down for a day or two because the design is being changed. If you need anything more sooner than later, let me know.

Brian,

Is there any advantage to click on the link thru here, verses going directly to your site?

Received you 35 piece set the other day, BIG THANKS!!! Looking forward to this weekend.

No benefit for Sam by clicking the link here so you can just go to the website which is down right now.

Your welcome on the bits, they should serve you well.

Brian, Your site is still down. Any idea when it will be back up? I would like to order the 35pc 1/2" shank r-bit set? Is there any way to place an order with you outside of the website if it is going to be down for a long time?

[TheRic]

Krogers, send Brian an Email to sales@holbren.com, he mentioned that earlier in this thread.

I just turned it back on, just a couple minor text formatting issues to be fixed on the new design. The 35 piece set is on the home page.

Bits Ordered

Brian, Thanks. I finally got back to your site and placed my order. I wanted to comment that I am buying purely on the recommendation from my friends here at bt3. I own a couple of Whiteside and CMT bits, but I wanted to try reasonable priced set of bits to get more out of my router. That is the reason for searching for a link from the bt3 site. I hope that you have received enough business from this site that you found your payment for the original ad/link worthwhile. I look forward to trying your bits and experiencing some of the incredible customer service that everyone has been raving about.

TheRic, Your response seemed to be something along the lines of RTFM. There must be a similar acronym for "Read all the ******* responses to your question." I did see the offer to email Brian directly. But my preference was for going through the site. I was trying to be subtle and encourage him to get the site back up. Problem solved. Bits ordered.

[Holbren]

Thanks Kevin, I am sure you will be pleased with the bits. Let me know if you have any questions once you receive them.

I don't know if you saw it on the home page but Whiteside is coming soon. I'll put out a BT3 offer once the inventory arrives but they limit the discount that can be offered.

Bits Received

Brian, Just wanted to let you know that the bits arrived in good order. I had a chance to open and inspect the package, but I have not had a chance to use any yet. I have already made some changes to my current project plans to include some different edges on plywood banding based on some of the profiles in the new bit set. I look forward to using them. Thanks for all of your help/service.
