| Registered User Member |  Good Router Bits Based on this post by reible I am curious who the better bit manufactures are. I have used bits by Freud, Kensington's? (the yellow bits) and whatever brand Lee Valley sells. Are they all pretty similiar? Are there better bits? All these and more questions do I have. Before anyone asks, I don't always like Yoda talk.  |

| Registered User Dedicated Member  | I have found that the Whiteside bits have been the best for me.They are a little more costly but that is offset by their quality and performance. HTH http://www.whitesiderouterbits.com/c...atalogHome.asp

| Registered User Sr. Member | All of these ones you speak of I can only import. I use Linbide and Triton for the good bits and throw away ones for the every day bits. For my straight flutes and roundovers I get very cheap, use them 10 times and throw them away ones. All the others (T,G & V, drawer locks, dovetail and the likes) I get the Linbide or Triton. Works well for me anyway!!  Hope this helps, Aaron

| Registered User New Member | I use primarily Freud, but I bought a Porter-Cable 1/2" straight bit and it's good too. |

| Registered User New Member | The 'new' Porter bits I found out are being made by Oldham(oldham-usa.com). Check prices between them for the best value. |
