Probably only 100ish, but I'm still the new guy, so give me some time to catch up to the 'pros'.

The set I got from Rockler.
A box-o-Bits from my buddy who was cleaning out their cnc bit inventory of stuff they don't use any more
The others you buy, just along the way, for no apparent reason.

Nope.

I went to Lowe's today to get some lag screws and ended up buying a new drill. Go figure.

This most be turning into the Monday Morning Confessional.

Forgive me, father for I have bought tools this weekend.
Yay for I bought a Delta 6" 3/4HP jointer for $200 yay though it was used. And it is good.
Yay for I bought a Delta 12.5" planer for $220 yay though it is new and will be delivered on Wednesday. And it will be good.
Yay for I endeavored to install keyhole slot hardware though it required a 5/8" straight bit so I bought said bit from Lowes. And it is good.

I got a 24 piece set from Harbor Freight for around $50 or so, plus I separately bought 3 or 4 bits. Of the HF set, I used maybe 8 - 9, regularly use about 4 - 5.

I'll answer both questions, I have four routers and around 150 bits. Still learning how to use them. As was said before, can't have too many, hehehehehe, maybe I have gone mad.

Talking Latest Woodworking Show in Indianapolis.

I got three of those sponge type holders for 1/4" & 1/2" shanked bits at the latest woodworking show in January in Indianapolis. They are totally filled and I am finding more every day. I am in hopes of getting totally organized in my shop this year...Is there such a thing ans totally organized?
