9 Piece Basic Bit Set (1/4" Shank)
Are expensive router bits worth the cost? Because of the features found in these Freud bits--long-lasting micrograin carbide/titanium tips, tri-metal brazing, and an antikickback design-- our answer is a resounding yes. Each Freud bit is computer-balanced to run vibration- and chatter-free at speeds well in excess of the typical 22,000 rpm of most routers. These bits have a high shear angle that produces less tear-out and chatter marks, leaving a cross-grained cut that requires little or no sanding. Multiaxis grinding helps ensure the proper relief angle on cutting edges regardless of how the bit is oriented. This nine-piece set includes a nice variety of bits and is ideal for the beginning woodworker. --Tim Block
