This review is from: Jet 708585 / MBC-5 5-Piece Chisel and Bit Set (Tools & Home Improvement)

Both sets of these that I've received have been dull and chipped up. The square chisels were okay but the bits looked like someone tried to go through hardened steel with them.

Everything appeared to be packed very safely with the chisels all individually wrapped, so it would seem that bits were put in the box dull to begin with. Or improperly manufactured.

For this price, I would expect much better quality control. This is a major disappointment and these will have to be returned.

Bits are heavy duty and should work fine in the long run. But they are not "shop" ready when they come out of the box. Drill bit faces are poorly machined and have many residual burrs that need to be knocked off before use. You would think that JET would have better QC than this...not up to typical JET standards.

Welcome to the next step in making really good mortice's. Plus the only hard part is getting the machine out, and blowing the dust off when you're done.
I know this isn't the fine old art practiced by our great grandfathers, but there are dozens of new tools that we use today that fall into that category. I enjoy watching Roy Underhill in the "Woodwright's Shop", but I don't use a foot powered lathe.
