: Not long ago there was a discussion of these and their quality on a bulletin
: board I frequent. It was either here, the Bear Mountain bulletin board, or
: the Wooden Boat Forum. You might want to do a search.

: As I recall the consensus was that getting two bits for $40 was about as
: inexpensive as you could get. There are more expensive bits from other
: suppliers. Presumably the quality is better. Mac McCarthy notes that the
: cheap ones are OK for a boat or two, but if you're going to do more you
: might want the more expensive ones.

C&B cutters take about the smallest cuts of any router bits made. I can't understand why Porter Cable, or is Freud, makes a set on 1/2" shanks unless it's just to charge $90 for a set.

Buy the cheapest,with 1/4" shanks, they all have crabide cutters. I've used a cheap set for 10 years. You're cutting soft wood after all.

For links to all the cheap C&B sellers and the set-up I use, go to my "Shop Tips" page at;
