Like I thought I got a good deal on a set but only got about 15 or so
holes using a 3/4? bit, and the young lady at their store said yep,
that is about all they are good for.

So I figured well at least I got a few good holes, and when I replace
it, I'll go for a better brand. But I don't see any with carbide
cutting surfaces. At least not yet.


If you want good you will have to pay for it.

Even the regular Freud bits hold up well. I've been using some of mine for
15+ years but their carbide bits are supposed to be fantastic.
