    Any info on Grizzly router bits?

    Any body know anything about these or have used them. Are they any good for the price or cheapy stuff. I'm really not all that familiar with Grizzly other then band saws.

    personally, I'd stick with the Holbrens or the MLCSes where their primary business is router bits. Better attention and control over quality and more personalized service, when you need it. I don't think you can save much more with Grizz to make it worthwhile. And I know MLCS has bigger selection and easier to find specialized bits.

    Just my opinion.

      I've got one of the green ones. By the time you're done paying s/h they end up kind of expensive for what they are...a decent value bit. I agree with Loring...stick with Holbren or MLCS for at least as good quality and usually better price.

        The quality of the Grizzly bits are fine I think.
        I only have a few, but haven't wore them out and use them quite often.
        They are worth the money. The green ones is what I'm refering to. I do have a couple very small purple ones, but use them less often. They are so small that I can't tell a difference in quality.
        If these will hurry up and dull up, I will be contacting Brian.

          I recently sent Holbren an email asking for a rather specialized bit. I received a personal reply from Brian telling me he couldn't supply the bit, but went on to refer me to a competitor that had the bit I needed. Now THAT is customer service.

          After that experience, Holbren (Brian) gets my vote for #1 supplier of router bits.

            Thanks guys I was just wondering because I hadn't ever heard of Grizzly router bits before.

              Another vote for Holbren

              I posted a question on a bit here and Brian Holbren sent me a PM about the bit that I needed. He seems like a real good guy and a lot of people here have bought from him. I haven't yet, but I soon will.
