Is this "Freud Vertical Raised Panel Set #97-504 E-Direct Price $89.99" a really good price or is it one of those deals that can be found pretty often?

Don't have an immediate need for the bits but I sometimes purchase stuff for future use when it is one of those deals that is almost too good to pass up. This link describes the bit set: http://www.ptreeusa.com/edirect_110907.htm.

Thanks,
David

Living down-under, I'm not familiar with the "normal" US price, but if they were THAT price here I would probably buy several sets knowing that I would make a very good profit re-selling them. I'm sure Bj. will have the definitive answer.

Hi David

I can't put down Freud router bits they are GREAT bits but they are a bit high in price

If you are like me I don't use the bits I have all the time, that's to say I will make a project then it maybe a year or two b/4 I use the bit again.

If it holds up well the 1st.time I use it I will buy one more like it the next time I need one more like it...

I have found out the bits from MLCS work well for me but on the other hand I will pay a higher price for bits that I know I will use on hardwood all the time and they will need to work hard from the getgo.

I also like the CMT/Whiteside router bits but they are also a bit high in price also...

I guess it comes down to what you want to use the bits for , like they say buy the best you can...

I have MANY router bits I have cooked some by over working them and the higher price ones cook the same way as the cheaper ones once they get hot that's it,,,,, tent stakes,,,,,door stops,,,,

FYI- amazon.com has a price of about $125 for that set.

amazon is not always a 'great price' but it is usually a decent starting point to see what the going price for something is in my opinion.
