I've been building some large brackets. I made them by laminating several layers of wood together to get a real thick look. I cut the pattern out on the first one, then as I laminate each layer, i flush it up to the previous one, I was able to quickly and precisely make laminated brackets in no time flat. I cut brackets all day, still as sharp as they were when I started. I like the multiple sizes and those will come in handy with multiple different thicknesses of materials. Ball bearings were smooth and had no issues with alignment

These are better than I expected when I ordered them. The bearings are solidly attached and the blade parts are sharp. They make smooth cuts. I use templates to make things and need bottom bearing bits to do it. I've used the middle two a couple of times on different hardwoods and I am not noticing any wear on them yet. Good addition to my bit collection.

Worked well initially initial test runs on softwood. Nice assortment of depths.

These bits have an interesting feature - the bearng that will ride against your template is held in place by a stop collar. This is a nice idea but it was poorly executed.The stop collar can be loosened and moved on the shank of the bit. This would allow a number of nice possibilities, like keep adjusting the bearing location to keep it against the template while increasing the cut depth. However, this idea breaks down because you will then need two stop collars, to hold the bearing at different locations and no extra stop collars were provided.One idea would be to take a stop collar from one of the other bits but that's annoying. Providing one or two extra stop collars would have gone a long way.I wanted to try the idea to see how it would work but then I discovered a manufacturing issue. Two of the four stop collars have the set screw barely holding on with 1.5-2 threads and it's nearly impossible to get them back on. By the way, they didn't include an hex wrench. It turns out it's 2 mm, in case you want to try yourself.So, I tool three stars off. One for no hex key, one for no extra stop collars and another for badly machined stop collar/set screw on 2 out of 4 units.

I honestly had pretty low expectations of these and expected the blue protective coating to flake off immediately.To my surprise, they're quite durable and leave exceptionally clean cuts. Normally I'd get some minor tearout on sapele edge grain when coming in head on at 1/4" deep. Nothing. I also used another one to flush up the end grain of an old growth Doug Fir 2x4 and it tore through it.A included hex key would be nice, but most woodworkers/craftsmen have piles of those lying around so I won't take a star for it.The stop collars are cool idea that I'll probably never use and the price for this set is great considering the quality.

These router bits seem well made. I'm pleasantly impressed with their construction for the price. The blades are SHARP and the bearings spin freely on the entire set. The protective coating on the rest of the bits doesn't have any blemishes or flaking off like cheap bits. They do they job well and I expect them to last.

These are a very nice set of tier bits with bottom bearing for using to flush trim, or, in my case follow a patten template to route out a shape. These are in 1/2, 3/4, 1, and 1 1/2 inch cutting depths. A nice feature is the stop collars to hold the bearings in place, which allows for the bearings to be replaced should one go out. The bits are incredibly sharp and durable. After considerable use on the 1 inch long depth but there is absolutely no sign of any wear or dulling of any type on the cutting edges. These all fit the collet perfectly, and are true and straight. I think this is an excellent quality set of bits, they are an excellent value, and I can recommend them without hesitation.

I needed a new set of flush trim bits as mine had worn. Picked these up and was pleasantly surprised. They cut well, and very clean. Great performance at this price point.
