I was just looking through my new WJ mag and saw an ad for Eagle America router bits, just wondering if any one as used them or herd anything about them. I personally like freud bits but always looking for other options.

Have not used them but get their catalog. I have not heard of there being problems with them.

I have some of their bits. No problems. Not quite the same quality as Freud, especially in carbide thickness, but I use my bits a lot running picture frame molding and haven’t had any issues with them.

Is it this set? My jaw dropped a little when I saw it, and I came here to see what people thought of it, but then did a search instead, and saw that the general consensus was that sets like this are a huge waste of money, as you’ll never really use most of them. I had to agree. I have a crappy Ryobi 1/4” shank set, the Whiteside Incra 6-piece dovetail kit, and a few miscellaneous bits, and I’ve never in 2 years gotten to most of the Ryobi set.

Not an answer to your question, but just in general. I heard some advice somewhere that I thought was pretty good for folks starting out with router usage. You can purchase a cheap set which makes available to you a large number of shapes. Most of them you will rarley use, but you will soon wear out/dull a select few of them that you really do use. Then replace those with high quality bits and you will always have the others available for that rare moment.
