![]() ![]() Absolute toughest bit I ever owned is a 1/4" straight bit from Woodcraft. Bit still cuts good, without any sharpening. One 1/2"straight shank bit was used to cut ribs for a rounded work station, with a total of over 200' in 3/4" plywood. None has ever failed to deliver the goods. I own several of those delivered free to your door bits. Yonico has a three bit set that 199 people gave a 4.5 start review. Whiteside has a three bit set for $52.11 that 65 people gave a 4.5 star review. Today I looked on Amazon for undersized straight bits for plywood. I read reviews to see what others say before blindly purchasing a brand. Many times I start with names like Yonico, Hiltex & Yakamoz to see their offerings. Now I look for value instead of a name when I search for bits. I paid the $10 and the bit more than met my expectations. When I searched online I saw that instead of paying $25-$35 for a bit that I might only use on a single project I could pay $8-$10 for the bit … and have it delivered to my door for free in two days. ![]() Somewhere down the line I need a bit for a very specific job. The trim router seemed a better option than the PC 690 so I ordered an 1/8" round over with a 1/4" shank from one of the high-end companies. The trim router sat unused for about a month until I needed to put an 1/8" round over on a lot of parts. Then I was gifted a trim router that only used 1/4" bits. I would only purchase bits made from a few high-end manufacturers & if possible bit with a 1 shank. In the past, I was a complete router bit snob. ![]()
