And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Came here to say just that. Damn right. Cheap Chink, and gawd help ya if you think you'll be able to use these for more than a few passes in any decent hardwood. Manufacturers love selling "sets". Buy the good stuff, carbide if you can maintain it, one at a time as you need them. You'll wind up with a group of bits you USE, not a set you look at.
That's a bunch of low quality bits that you'll mostly never use.
ReplyDeleteBest to buy better quality bits one at a time as you need them.

DeleteBut, but, but...I got a great deal on 24 bits and I'll only ever use 12 of them.
DeleteYou guys have good judgment, probably birthed from long experience. That same logic applies to tools of all sorts.
ReplyDeleteThat is a good set if you are figuring out what it is you can do with a router and it's a good place to keep any better quality bits you later buy.
ReplyDeleteGood deal to start a collection. Some you may never use. Replace the ones you do a lot
