One of the tools coming together for me this year is a decent sized router on a decent router table. Not highest end by any means but stepping into the 1/2" router and bit world. The more I used my HF router table the more I liked the opportunities.
Question 1: Router Bit Brand Recommendations. I will never be a production shop but do appreciate the value of better cutting tools. Now I typically go pick up the Freud bit I need or an occasional Whiteside. What brand are the better carbide cutters for the hobbiest?
Question 2: Buy a set or just keep building one? Looks like there are good price breaks on buying sets and obviously many different sets. Are they worth getting or do you find yourself using the same 3 or 4 bits out of that set of 24?
Keep in mind I will be doing some boxes and frame and trays and such. I have no intention of building cabinets and doors and such.
Thanks I'm advance for the feedback.
