They have certainly elevated the quality of my woodworking projects, and I couldn't be happier with the results.

These router bits are pretty good for the price. I've been using them on a few woodworking projects and they cut through wood like butter, no complaints there (except that one time i accidentally hit a nail - my fault). The set has all sorts of different shapes so you can do whatever you want to your wood. Chamfer, straight cuts, whatever. It comes in this nice blue case too which is handy for storage and keeping everything organized. The only thing I would say is that the bits feel a little light compared to some other ones I've used. But honestly, they work fine so who cares? They're compatible with all routers and do their job well enough. Plus, it comes with 15 pieces which is more than enough for most projects (I still need to try out the dovetail bit though). Overall, these router bits are a great value if you're looking to get into woodworking or just want some new tools to play around with.

When reviewing a router bit set like this (24 piece) one has to keep in mind who may be in the target market. If you're (say) a professional cabinet maker, then you will always need to have exactly the router bit you want, in which case you'll be buying individual bits from your preferred supplier. If you're a hobbyist, then you're likely to be cost-conscious and prepared to buy a set given that doing so is likely to give you a good chance of having at hand a bit that's close enough to the one you really want, and the payoff is that the unit price is very attractive, and you don't have to go shopping all the time. In this case, the bits work out at $1.56 each, which is ridiculously cheap. These router bits are certainly just fine, especially given the price. At $1.56 each, it'd be worth it even if you only use the bit once. Add to that a very solid-seeming index box, then you're golden. For me, these bits absolutely fit the bill.

Handy set with good quality. Nice range of sizes.

I've had these for a little over two months now, and I'm really happy with their performance for the price. I've used the V-groove bit, roman edge, corner round, chamfer and cove bit with great results and virtually no tear-out, even on thin-layered plywood. I put a lot of use on the V-groove bit, and noticed that it does not do a really sharp V in the bottom of the groove, but has no problems otherwise and was just fine for what I needed. I've been using this set extensively on a couple of projects; one is a Chinese Chess/Go game board, and the other is a Chinese Calligraphy sign. Being able to cut so many intersecting grooves, and complicated characters without any tearout was essential, as you can see in the attached photos. All in all, great set for the price to get started with. Hope to use it for a long time! *Edit* I considered dropping a star because the 1/4" bit broke within a few minutes of use a few months ago. I decided that the set itself is still 5 Stars for the price. I'm still very happy with all of the other bits I have used. If there was a 4.5 star option I would have adjusted to that.

I purchased these router bits to use with my table mounted router and they work great! I only use my router on occasion for crafts and whatnot so didn’t want to invest much into a set of bit, however, I wanted to have a variety of bits to play around with. This set met all of those requirements! They come in a wood case that has a picture of the design each bit will make so it’s easy to choose a bit and you don’t have to guess what your final product will look like. I have used these on both hardwood and MDF with no problems at all. The bit are still as sharp as they were when I first got them. I highly recommend these as a first set if you are looking for a variety of bits at a low price. They have defiantly been worth the purchase. Since buying these I have also purchased a coulple higher cost brand name bits and feel that these do just as good!

I just had the opportunity to use a few of these router bits and they functioned perfectly. I'm new to routers, so my opinion may not carry much weight, but I had no issues or malfunctions. I'm satisfied. Update 10/07/2019. I had the opportunity to use these bits more extensively over the past few days and found that the straight/flush trim bits leave a lot to be desired. All the decorative edging bits work well enough but the straight/trim bits produce a lot of chip-outs and heat up fast, regardless of the speed. The 1/4" straight bit seems to be out-of-round and wobbles, which produces an oversize oblong slot. The others cut as if they are dull which makes it difficult to get acceptable results. They work but I'll be shopping for replacements soon.

This is a very good set of router bits for the beginner or home user. They do not have the quality, strength, or durability of the major (costly or industrial) brands, but they get the job done rather well for some time. If I find I am using a bit again and again, I'll splurge and buy a Whiteside bit to replace the one in this kit. Unfortunately, a single Whiteside bit typically costs two or three times the price of this entire set. Some users complain about the product: 1) The case is cheap and/or arrives broken: Mine arrived in perfect condition and is quite durable. With any reasonable care it should last indefinitely. 2) The bits are very difficult to remove from the case: Instead of being dropped into drilled holes in the wood, the bits are each held in a plastic socket that holds them securely. With a bit of use (or with a bit of lubrication) they remove easily but are still held securely in their socket. 3) The bits are dull, wear out fast, or break: Again, these are not industrial quality bits and need to be treated rather gently. They won't hold up to "hogging out" deep cuts in a single pass (especially in hardwoods), and users need to understand proper feed directions to get smooth cuts. With a bit of experience and careful use, they'll do a very good job for quite some time. Overall, this set is a great value - attractive price for a very usable assortment of the bits commonly used in woodworking. Would I buy it again? As I said earlier, if I wear out a bit from being often used, I'd replace it with a more costly single bit. If I wear out several bits over time due to infrequent use, I'd buy the set again to refresh my inventory. I'd certainly recommend the set to fellow hobby/home "wood butchers" and I think they'd be happy with the performance.
