Trend ½ Inch Router Bit Set, SET/SS9X1/2TC

Firstly this is a quality set of router cutters each one costing less than a cup of coffee, excellent value for money. Trend is the go to router company and their products are premium and these cutters are no exception. They include the maximum rotation speed and depth of insert into the collett, both marked on the shank of the cutter. For those new to router work this is essential information, do not overspin the cutter. The carry case is useful and includes a cutter guide showing the cut profile of each cutter. Please do take the time to ensure each cutter is correctly located in the case to ensure you use the correct cutter for your needs. These cutters are sharp and leave a good clean cut and there are a variety of them to cover almost every application you may encounter. A good purchase at a good price.

Trend are a great product I use them for many work and DIY projects . This set was at a price that suits my needs many thanks

Great set, good quality for the price but the case had a crack all the way along.

I agonised for some time over what to buy for my new router as I needed 1/4" shanks rather than my nice set of 8mm Dewalt cutters. Im a keen DIYer and like to buy the best tools I can however I didn't really want to pay too much for my occassional use. It would have cost me around £30 to change the collet for some reason and decided I would rather have some shiney new cutters instead. I eventually decided on this set as it seemed like a reasonable price for a well known brand and fairly comprehensive range for any future projects. I am very happy that I did, they came well presented in a nice case with handy pictures showing the profile of each bit. They looked as if they were caked in thick grease which is actually a protective shell which ensures they are kept immaculate during transit. Best of all for me, the ones I wont use for a while are kept in great condition during storage. The cutters are well machined, razor sharp and the ones I have tried gave a brilliant smooth cut on oak wood. The bearings on the guided bits are smooth and give confidence in their ability. I was tempted to try a cheaper set but im glad I went for these and at £2 a cutter, its actually very good value for money!

I brought these to practice my routing skills as I'm a new comer to this, not disappointed at all good quality bits.

Good

The cutters are fine but the carry box is damaged

The set itself is a good value, and provides good selection of bits at affordable place. At this point I used all of them at some capacity. Unfortunately one of them broke (bearing failed) on the first use (straight trim bit) - but upon contacting Trend support (via their uk website), they were very quick in dispatching a replacement, equivalent bit. This is the kind of service one expects, and what makes me want to stick with that brand for my woodworking tools needs (where available). thanks again Trend!
