Anyone familiar with the ADT brand router bits and willing to shed some
light on their reliability?

Thank you

Sounds like a Security Company. Sure that may not be CMT?

any brand name bit cost.

If your piece kicks back and breaks the window, will the ADT bit call
the police?

I would remind you that the average router bit spins up to 27,500 rpm.

Do you want that tiny piece of carbide on the tip of that blade to come
off in an unexpected manner ???

I believe I would stick with known companies that make router bits.

I agree, but since I'm fairly new in the woodworking field, I don't know
who makes good bits and who doesn't.

I bought some from MLCS that seem to be okay as a starter set.

www.mlcswoodworking.com

OK fair enough...

The biggest is Freud ....

There are many others but a short list would be

CMT
Whiteside
Porter Cable
Amana
Bosch

There are any number of people who import Chinese bits
and relabel them.

MLCS
Rockler
Woodworker Supply

and many,many others.

You will NEVER go wrong buying a Freud router bit.

FIY none are imune, the first router bit I owned to ever throw a chunk of
carbide was a Freud.

Freud is indeed a good bit, but not in the same league with Whiteside.
The preponderance of opinion seems to be that Whiteside is the best. And
I'm hearing that from folks who use routers commercially even more than
from hobbyists.

In what way are they not "in the same league"?

I'll give Whiteside the edge on most for what I would term "value", but
my personal "best" overall would tend to be Amana...I find edges more
finely polished, etc. But, for similar bits, they're typically higher
in cost than Whiteside and the differences aren't necessarily that great
in performance unless compare on very gnarly, chip-prone material, say.

My Freud sets have certainly been quite similar imo...

Just curious, does Infinity show up on your radar?

I have some Infinity bits, the predecessor brand bits, Jesada, was a better
bit IMHO. Actually the owner of Infinity was one of the kids that Jesada
was named after. I think Infinity bits are farmed out to several
manufacturers and made with the Infinity name on them. I would call
Infinity OK but I have the same profiles in CMT and the CMT's are better
IMHO.

I once bought some stuff on-line and used an offer of a bunch of
Hickory bits to fill up the order.
I have posted this opinion here before, but I was pleasantly surprised
with the quality and longevity of the Hickory brand bits. Nooooo, they
are NOT the end-all, but certainly great value.
I use Amana when I can, Velepec when I can't, but my main supplier for
straight/single-flue/spiral/solid-carbide bits is, and will be, Royce/
Ayr.... nothing like it anywhere. They also make the very best saw
blade for solid surface money can buy.

I'm pretty familar with both lines and I have to disagree that
Freud is not in the same league with Whiteside.

Whiteside makes a nice bit but "far superior" to Freud would
be a giant leap to take.

The brands I mentioned are all ones that I have bought and used.
I based my opinions on real world use.

actually I think onsrud is the top. but they are more limited in what
they sell. more cnc bits then anything else.

https://www.onsrud.com/

wasn't on my list cause there isn't many folks on
this list that own a cnc machine.

They make router bits, too. I have several excellent Onsrud spiral
bits.
