Great value for money: Trimming

They come in a beautiful rosewood box and work just as well as anything I've found. Sometimes I have a hard time reading grain and lose my temper, but no more so with these than with other more expensive products. I chose a spiral nozzle, but it's expensive. So if you want value for money and all in a neat little box for storage these bits are for you.

Pros
  • Straight, Spiral & Trim Bits
Cons
  • Fade-out

Pros
  • Milling Bits and Accessories
Cons
  • Wrinkled Packaging

I'm not happy with this set. The edges are ok, they worked for what I was doing but I didn't use them for anything precise.

I did template routing and it ended up messing up my template before I noticed the problem. I had to create a completely new template. I do not recommend.

Pros
  • Trimming
Cons
  • I don't remember
