 get this set instead of the 5 bit set |
| i dont personally own this particular set from freud, unfortunately i bought the 5 piece set instead. although i am happy with the bits, i wish i had spent a little more for the big set. you just get more versatility with the additional bits. if the extra $ is your concern, ask yourself if when and after buying a tool or accessory, you have ever said "i wish i had spent less and got less"? as far as the freud bit quality goes, they are all i own, and i would have given 5 stars if i had more experience with other brands. i have tried a couple(makita, bosch), and havent been real impressed. by the way, another reviewer said freud were in the top 5 of a recent review, jesada was 17th. guess i wont try jesada. give em a try, i dont see where you could go wrong. start with this set and then purchase other specialty bits as the need arises. one last note, get the 1/2" bits, for very little more money, you will thank yourself. |
 A Great Product that Will Last a Lifetime (and More......) |
| My husband recently purchased this set. As a wife who is always looking for the best prices on things, I was somewhat skeptical as I thought the price might have been high initially for this 13 piece set (then again, I don't know much about router bits!)....however, after researching the prices that we would have paid individually for each of these bits, this set turns out to be a great buy...no wonder it is a top seller at Amazon! The quality of these bits is impeccible...my husband said he will never need to buy any others as these will last him forever. He was really happy with this purchase and would recommend Freud bits to all, as they are (in his opinion), the best of the best. Once you buy Freud, it's for life! |
| Excellent Quality |
| I have used this set of Freud bits in my shop for several years and I have not needed to have them sharpened yet. The cut is smooth and chatter free. These bits seem to cut through the hardest of wood effortlessly. I own many other brands of router bits, and I think that Freud has a far superior product. You may pay a little more for these bits than the cheaper bits from other manufacturers, but the money is well spent. |
