I've used several woodline bits and these are of good quality just as the others were. Unfortunately, the case is built cheaply(had to tighten the screws and adjust the hinges). There was also some rusting of the shanks on a few bits. Probably due to lack of complete oiling. The rust comes off with some steel wool but it shouldn't ever be an issue. All in all, the bits are razor sharp and retain a good edge over their lifetime. I'd give them 5 stars if the case were sturdier and if I didn't need to break out the steel wool. You won't find any bits of this quality any cheaper so I guess I'm pretty happy with my purchase. I keep coming back to this manufacturer so they must be doing most things right. Not Freud or Whiteside but close.

This set has all the key bits I was looking for, and the construction seems fine. I haven't used them long enough to know how quickly the cutting edges dull, but so far I've been pleased. The dovetail bits, rabbeting bits, dado bits, and flush trim bits are all meeting my needs quite nicely.

The price on Amazon was only $4 more than the "trade show special" price at the Wood Show locally, so it turned out to be a good buy here.

The only immediate drawback is that the back/bottom of the wooden case is already falling out, though, with only very light use. If that turns out to be the only thing wrong, I think I've gotten a very good deal -- I'd rather have the quality/money put into the bits anyway.

Very nice kit... very halpful with basic jobs, i'm glad it was made in USA, not in china, if you are wood worker, you'll understend me.

First I have to say the bits seem to be good for the price. I have used four of them on a project and had no problems. The very nice looking case they come in is poorly assembled but 10 minutes, a brad nailer and screw driver and its perfectly sturdy.

The bits are great. Better quality than I expected for the price. However the case is pretty cheap. Mine broke just opening it. However you buy it for the bits not for the case. And in this case the bits are sharp and well balanced. Highly recommended just don't plan on a case.

I used this set to learn with at trade school

and really enjoyed working with them.

I feel that even the twenty someodd

dollars you save is better than nothing

at all, and free shipping you can't beat that.

Wooden case was damaged when received. Wood splintering on one edge of case and both latches were loose. Bits were in good condition but looked like they may have been wet at one time as rust was on padding underneath the bits. Would not order from again.

To say the retail price is 317.55 is misleading at best. The normal price is 199 and always has been. It is sold at 189 at woodworking shows. Amazon should insist on prices reflecting the actual advertised price. When displayed this way they would appear to be some special markdown.

The router set is great but since my purchase in November 2009, the price has dropped from $171 to $149 and Amazon does NOT guarantee the price. For this reason, I do not rate this item high. Buy elsewhere so that you can receive a price guarantee/
