User Comments about the MLCS 8377 Router Bit Set with Carbide tipped, 1/2-Inch Shank, 15-Piece

i like to buy a good selection of sizes and sell them indiv. these are great.

During check-out they had the "Standard Shipping" tab highlighted as the default, not the "Free Shipping" tab. I've used several bits so far and so far, so good. I see it as an inexpensive lesson but suggest that if you order anything with "Free Shipping" that you review your order carefully prior to hitting the "Process This Order" button. Recently I searched several sites for a beginners router bit set. After placing my order I received my bits within a couple days. The set was as represented and consistent with the reviews I had read prior to ordering. I missed it and ended up paying $6.00 for shipping instead of receiving "Free Shipping" as offered. By the time I realized I had missed it the order had already processed and couldn't be changed.

After considering several sets I decided to go with the MLCS 8377 1/2" shank 15 piece set offered on Amazon. I'm happy with my purchase and believe it to be a good value. No big deal, I'm still happy with the product, perceived value and quick shipment. The only thing I missed during the order process was taking advantage of the "Free Shipping" offer.

As a remodel contractor I've used older MLCS bits for years and have had them re-sharpened. Not as durable as Whiteside or Amana, but for occasional use they work just fine. This set is a great value.

Have not used this set yet, but its appears well made. If the box they came in is an indicator, this set should be very good.

It wasn't being pushed hard either. It definitely will come in handy and save you money.However, during the first project I did using the set (making some speaker cabinets) the 1/4" straight bit broke while cutting out a hole in 3/4" mdf. It's still a great and useful kit and an unbeatable value. Absolutely not. It has a ton of bits obviously for a low price. I was doing the cut in 3 passes getting progressively deeper with each pass and on the 3rd pass it broke off. It is worth mentioning though so you can be prepared to buy higher quality versions of the bits that you will use most frequently. Fortunately it was in the wood and didn't go flying into my leg/face and cut me up :P Would this affect my decision to recommend this kit.
