Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The case and bits are quite heavy (maybe 8-9 lbs? It's snug, but this works well, and you won't damage the bits or your fingers. There was many reviews stating the difficulty removing the bits from the case.

The bits are gorgeous, terribly sharp, and look to be very well made. I am a novice woodworker and use these bits exclusively with hard woods and exotics. Have been keeping these clean with cmt formula 2050 blade and bit cleaner.

The inside grommet, along with the shank of each bit, allows easy removal. Take a simple 1/2inch drill bit and just slowly ream out the hole. Press the side of bit against the sidewalls of the bit holder.

Freud 5-piece round over and beading router bit set with 1/2 shanks (89-152) good set but hard to get out of the box initially but can be solved. This is the first box i open when starting a project that needs routing. The router bits appear to be of ...  Read More

The bits are great, typical freud quality thats hype actually aligns with the actual performance. Freud, whiteside, amana(ogee raised panel set) are names you can trust.



Cons

Received it and the plastic front cover was cracked. Placement holder for the bits is off alignment and stuck. Rubber bushings that hold the shanks of the bits are way too tight-fitting.

Quality


They cut clean and accurately and are very well made.


Very well made bits that hold an edge


I've been torturing these bits, over heating, over cutting, etc, and despite a little discoloration from over heating, the edge...  Read More


The metal shank of the bit is inserted into a rubber sleeve that is inserted into a hole in the wooden block.

Price


This is an incredible value for $195.


Just the best for a very fair price


I went through the trouble of pricing all these bits out individually and it came out to about $320.


Proof you get what you pay for!

Shipping


Happy very happy with the care given to its delivery !


They arrived in 4 days and were packaged really well.


Either amazon has failed to ship this parcel carefully enough or freud can't make a box that can survive the trip.


Amazon, if you're reading this, i received this parcel yesterday, and i have 4 days until the birthday in question, and i can't...  Read More

Packaging/appearance


I felt the packaging was well done, it came in a cardboard box that had no damage.


They were packaged well, have etched number on each bit, very sharp and tough.


Next the box was wrapped with about 15 feet of foam wrap, then packed in a larger box with more peanuts.


I just received it and the wooden box is in perfect condition w/o damage.

Competitiveness


I believe i could get the same results from a makita or even a dewalt router.


If you don’t know what leaver a does, then leaver b, go to harborfreight and buy a set there, because you don’t know how to use...  Read More


Some tools claim to be the best-others just come out of the cabinet and quietly blow the competition away!


I realize many people advise young men to buy less expensive router bit sets, figure out which ones wear out the fastest, and t...  Read More

    As many reviews have said they are very difficult to remove from the case


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Removing them and using a 12 bit to increase the size of the hole does help but they are still very stiff to remove


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I think if you used the metric bit closest to 12 inch you would have better luck


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Unfortunately i dont have one to try


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Using the bits are a joy however


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I havent used them a lot yet but they cut through everything like a hot knife through butter


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I dont have any experience regarding how long they hold their sharp edge but theyre terrific brand new


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    After reading the reviews here i was fully prepared to go to war in order to get the router bits out of the box
