 MLCS router bit set October 13, 2009

Have not used this set yet, but its appears well made. If the box they came in is an indicator, this set should be very good.
Nice value October 5, 2009

It has a ton of bits obviously for a low price. It definitely will come in handy and save you money.
However, during the first project I did using the set (making some speaker cabinets) the 1/4" straight bit broke while cutting out a hole in 3/4" mdf. It wasn't being pushed hard either. I was doing the cut in 3 passes getting progressively deeper with each pass and on the 3rd pass it broke off. Fortunately it was in the wood and didn't go flying into my leg/face and cut me up :P
Would this affect my decision to recommend this kit? Absolutely not. It's still a great and useful kit and an unbeatable value. It is worth mentioning though so you can be prepared to buy higher quality versions of the bits that you will use most frequently.
 The best starter set I found, hands down September 25, 2009

If you're buying a router for the first time and have no bits, this seems like an awesome, inexpensive starting point. It lets you get started at a reasonable price, and try a wide range of bits on a full-size 1/2" shank. The bits cut well, and get the job done.
I've had problems with two of them after some use, and would still recommend this as a starter set, but I won't be replacing the broken bits by buying the same set again. The 1/2" bit that follows a template, the bearing jammed, heated up immediately, and caused some problems (including one ruined bit). The 1/4" bit snapped off on me today, cutting a 1/2" deep groove along the grain on a pine board. (Got about 4" into the cut, then poof.)
Not thrilled with the steady self-destruction of bits, but very happy to get a good head start for not too much dough. As ones break, I'm replacing with a bit pricier tools, and I'm alright with that.

4 stars given based primarily on price. The quality of the bits is satisfactory, just satisfactory. For the price this set is a good budget priced choice. The wooden box is poor quality and poorly constructed. I would expect more from a tooling manufacturer. Bottom line is it is a decent set of bits for a really good price.

All bits seem to be of high quality and to be as advertised. A good collection at a reasonable price.
