They all seem to be close. MLCS has a set of 66 bits for 189.95. I started
pricing this set indivdually and its at about 1000.00. Has anyone used this
set. Are you happy with it.

Hi Rich,

The quality of MLCS router bit sets have been discussed many times in the past.
See:

http://www.google.com/groups?q=MLCS+...aol.com&rnum=2

The previous discussions includes comments from a MLCS representative.

FYI, I purchased the smallest set, the price being what it is, despite
all the advice on the wreck to not purchase sets.

The bits are all perfectly functional. My understanding of MLCS bits
is that they aren't going to wear as long as the highest end bits (and
that is not including their Katana line).

The down side was that typically, for template and straight bit
purposes, my general desired length of carbide would be 3/4", say,
1". The MLCS in my set are usually 3/4". So I ended up purchasing new
bits for this type use anyway.
