Now that I bought my first router (and a good quality one at that --

I have seen the "Hickory Woodworking RBK1031 24-Piece Carbide Master
Router Bit Set, 1/2" Shank" priced at about $60. Is that a good match?

Any other recommendations?


As already suggested, buy 1/2" shanks whenever you can.
Then I suggest you buy them as you need them. Buy the best you can
afford, unless it's a design you won't use often.... then a cheapie will
suffice.
