Question Questions About Oak Park Website

I am new to this forum and had never heard of Oak Park before a few days ago. I read good things about them here, so checked out their website. Now I am confused about a couple things.

In the list of types of bits available, what do the numbers in parentheses mean? For example, they list "Bull Nose Bits (22)", but when I open that page, I see only five choices, not 22. The same is true for any other page I opened.

I also see relatively few 1/2" shank bits compared to other brands, so I wonder if I am somehow not seeing all the bits available.

Hi Dave:

The number appears to be the base model number of the type of bit. For example, the Bull Nose Bits have part numbers starting with 22.

Hi Dave

Not to put down Oak-Park bits but they are just a bit high in price

Cassandra, thanks for the clarification. It appears then that Oak Park do not supply the bits I wanted, a 5/16" roundover bit and a 1/4" bull nose with a 1/2" shaft. I know they are available from two other marketers, so I should have no trouble getting what I need.

Bobj3, thanks for the links. No matter how much searching online one may have already done, there is always more of interest out there. I'll check them out.
