Router bit advice
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...288009?ie=UTF8
Will these be ok for a weekend warrior? Looks like HF has a same package for twice as much, twice as good? http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=90596 |

Router bit advice
Have you read the reviews on Amazon? Not too encouraging. Still,
they're cheap, so what have you got to lose? How'd that old saw go: "Cry a thousand times"?

Typically a single good quality bit can cost that much. FWIW I bought 2 flush cut bearing piloted bits at the local WW show for about $11.00 and have not been disappointed at all. IIRC Home Depot sells this brand also. |

Looks like HF has a same package for twice as much, twice as good? http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=90596 I'd consider myself a weekend warrior. I have a table saw, circular saw, some clamps and a router. I find the cheaper tools and accessories are a good way to get started and see if I will really use them. I work in plywood and pine and dimensional lumber, and occasionally I'll buy Red Oak for something special. I have learned alot of things about WW over the years and don't regret any of it. I can really appreciate good tools and materials now when I buy them. My cheap tools produce good work, because I don't expect too much of them. When I want showpiece quality, and am ready to invest the time, effort and expense, I'll know what I'm doing. James |
