Tools and Hardware Reviews of MLCS 8377 15-Piece Router Bit Set with Carbide-Tipped 1/2-Inch Shanks
Customer Review: Great Value For Quality Bits
Summary: 5 Stars
My wife ordered these bits for me from Amazon. Even though I've only had them for a few weeks, they have done exactly what I have needed them to do, and perfectly at that. I use them with my Freud 3 1/4 hp router and Freud Router Table. For the price you can not find better quality or value. There are probably better bits out there such as Whiteside, Freud, or CMT, but why buy those when these will do the job just as good? I highly recommend them and for the money you really can't go wrong.Customer Review: Decent Set
Summary: 5 Stars
Decent bit set for the money, but it sure is not a "Freud" or "CMT", but it will serve the purpose for intermittent use.
I've purchased bits from MLCS directly in the past and have always been satisfied. They have decent carbide on them and will give decent service. Clean off all the "goop" that they are covered with before you use them in your router. When I have a need for heavy duty bits, I'll buy Freud. When these get dull I'll toss them. Good starter set for a newbie.
Customer Review: Great starter set but you will soon want more
Summary: 5 Stars
This set is my first and I am very satsfied with the quality. I have not had any issues with making various profiles and cuts. I would recommend this to someone starting out with a router like me but I can say you will soon want a bigger set. Even if you can't afford a lasger router bit set, this one is good. My only complaint is that if you decide to upgrade from this set and get a larger set, you will invariably have duplicates.Customer Review: Work Great
Summary: 5 Stars
Purchased for some light trim work and I will preface this review with dont expect these to stand up to production level work for that you need to spend more money for something like cmt bits. So far used it to build a new mantle with cable hides(hollow area to fish cables from the tv to the wall since the fireplace is brick) for my living room. Some trim for the laundry room. And am in process building a router table for it.Customer Review: Great value
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this set a few months ago and was very pleased with this "starter set." It provides the basic bits needed for many simple projects. I built an oak bookcase for my nephew. I used the roundover, flush trim and rabbiting bits. I was pleased with the bits' smooth operation and finish. They worked as well as other name-brand bits that I have used costing two to four times as much. 5 stars for BANG for the BUCK!
