I have recently purchsed a 1/2" bit set from MLCS. The 30 piece set. I have found them to be a good bit. Have had no problems with what I want to do with them. Was recently talking to my grandfather, who does a considerable amount of routing, and asked him if he had heard of them. He said that he likes their bits. He gave me the same advise that I will pass on. Some multi bit kits are more than a person will ever use. Go for a set, if you choose, that will get you the most that you will use. Then from there, upgrade to the specialty bits as needed. Also, for a person just starting out, a inexpensive bit is nice to learn what he is doing before he goes and messes up a perfectly good expensive bit and a good piece of wood. That is how I learned. Bought a $20 10 pc set from Harbor Freight and some scrap pine and went to town getting a feel for it. Once I was comfortable with the router in my hand, I chucked up a better bit and went to town.
