Reviews
"I bought this set of bits for a few shelf projects I wanted to make with MDF."
"I then used these to add a decorative edge to a key rack I built, and it really improved the look without a lot of effort."
"The box they come in is pretty cool but is cheap compressed wood and after a few uses the nails started coming out of it and After using these bits I would say the price is what got me to buy them for sure they are very cheaply made and the bits without bearings perform ok but the bearings are junk and fly apart way to easy but after replacing the bearings with ones I ordered from another supplier they are ok bits."
"This kit came with everything I need to get started with detailed wood working."
"I bought this mainly for just a few of the bits, which if bought separately at Lowes would have cost more than the whole set."
"Just got these today, routing super soft pine, two different bits edges shattered in under a foot of work."
"The set is a bargain, but unfortunately for me, while using the 1/4" straight bit to cut a groove in some MDF board, the bit broke in half."
"Within the first minute of using the flush cut bit with a bearing, the bearing shattered into pieces."

Reviews
"This set is a good starter set if you're new to routers."
"I haven't had any issues with the other bits, but this one must be just a tiny bit out of tolerance because I can not get it into my router."
"I bought this set nearly five years ago and have used most of the bits."
"If I consider the quality of this set, it would be 5 stars."
"Decent set for starting out."
"I would have liked for the bits to be labeled either on the wood next to where it is held, or have a better paper that identified each bit better."
"at. That said, the breadth of this assortment makes this a great introduction to router bits for a beginning woodworker- you can get acquainted with how some of the most common bits work and determine what style and size bits you will need most often for your particular style of work."
"The replacement bit I bought hasn't broken after much more extensive use in poplar and oak."

Reviews
"Adjustable for height as well is very helpful; the push pin only needs to come out about 1/8 inch and simply pulls out from there. If the pin is stubborn to reinsert and lock, give it a *tiny* push with this tool after making sure the direction and pin orientation is correct."
"As I aligned the first of 5 pins I ended up removing, even though the push rod remained level, I could see the tip of the pin wasn't staying level and had a slight "out of round" movement where it would go off axis. I didn't notice it until it neared the tip of the bracelet pin, at which time it became very evident. I thought if I took the time to micro-adjust the bracelet so the tool's pin hit the bracelet's pin, the act of it entering the bracelet's pin hole might keep it on track, however within a millimeter or two of it entering the hole the tool's pin bent, making it unuseable. I also used the tool to finish pushing the pins into place to join the bracelet after inserting them as far as I could by hand."
"However-do yourself a favor and go on youtube; do a search on DIY methods, plenty of videos showing how to perform this task with items you may find in your junk drawer."
"This thing was the best cheap buy I have had in a while."
"This is a wonderful product for those watch band fixes from home."
"Works well."
"The product came damaged and was unusable but once I stated my concern to Zacros they then seeked me out to make good on the refund- I appreciate their level of customer service- Things happen that is understandable but without me even asking they made good on the purchase and refunded it."
"This absolutely takes all the work out of repairing those bands that have the long pins that need to be pushed out."

Best Edge Treatment & Grooving Router Bits

Ohuhu Professional 13 Piece Watch Press Set/ Watch Case Closer with 12 Dies
Step two: Choose another die smaller than the rear cover, install on the bottom of press machine. Comes with 12 assorted dies: 24, 26, 28, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 36, 38, 40 & 42.
Reviews
"A thought on dies: some presses have machined metal dies and some have plastic ones. I think metal dies are probably intended for much higher-end watches (the kind I'd take to a professional to service) and in the hands of an experienced watchmaker the metal dies probably perform better than the plastic ones. The experienced watchmaker doubtless has techniques to ensure the finish on your $1500 watch is not damaged by metal dies."
"Absolutely thrilled with this watch press!"
"It took about all of my weight to get it to work, but the press snapped it back in place with out any damage to the watch."
"One of my watches was a bit challenging and it took several tries with different dies, but eventually I got the back on."
"It has a solid, substantial feel to it and the provide disks work for fairly large diameter watches down to pretty small ones."
"I'd go after them with pliers covered with a towel to keep from scratching the surface, but I knew one day I'd crack the crystal and I'd wind up with a pricey repair bill."
"It's simply a must have tool for replacing watch batteries. You put pressure on the watch crystal in any way and game over."

Best Joinery Router Bits

Freud 1-3/4" (Dia.) Adjustable Tongue & Groove Bit Set with 1/2" Shank (99-036)
Style: Adjustable Tongue and Groove Router Bit Set, 1/2-Inch Shank. Freud develops different types of carbide for each application to maximize the cutting life and performance of the tool; and Freud also operates one of the most modern product development research centers in Europe. Freud router bits feature TiCo Hi-Density Carbide for maximum cutting life and are individually balanced; providing a cut above the rest. About this Adjustable Tongue and Groove Bit Set Freud's adjustable tongue and groove bit set is ideal for producing perfectly fitted tongue and groove joints. Adjustable at .002 inch increments for stock thickness of 1/2" to 1-1/4" and groove widths of 7/32" to 3/8".
Reviews
"At the narrowest setting (no spacers), the panels fit perfectly without binding. The bits handled the hickory well but not sure how many more stiles I can cut without burning."
"This cutter is not exactly the profile of the story bought window stools, but close enough, provided you don't cut into the leading edge of the store bought stool."
"I was confused because aligning a straight edge against the cutting edges under a certain angle gives the impression that the teeth edges are not parallel and might slant inward, which might be desirable for flooring parquet where you need a really tight fit, but in fact, careful alignment of the straight edge clears that false impression: the teeth are perfectly aligned vertically, although they do have each a slight slant forward and backward (what Freud describes as "Freud's exclusive design features a tongue cutter with opposing shear angles to ensure a flawless finish") and my next experiment is to use them for edge-joionting."
"In addition, when you want to do the copes, all you have to do is raise the bit in your router table or shaper table to put the cope profile at the right height. The picture that is shown for this bit is actually upside down as it would be deployed in a router or shaper table, the profile at the top of the picture is the stile moulding profile, and the profile shown at the bottom of the bit does the copes in the rails."
"If I didn't want the thin edge to be there I had to raise up the bit, and then my detail was too deep for my liking, so this one is better for me. When you have to drill a hinge cup hole into the back of a door, you don't want it to pierce through the front side of this detail after you are all done with the door. Having the option of keeping the bit a little lower creates more of a safety buffer, and is more attractive to my clients when you view the door from the front."
"There are NO instructions either with the bits (other than a little chart to show you what thickness spacer to use for various thicknesses of stock), on the Freud website or on the web."

Reviews
"While the unit generally is pretty well designed, the access hole for the spindle lock is too small for only but the tiniest of thumbs or fingers."
"Well made, but it's a little hard to figure out how to keep it still until you put that non-slip fabric between the Router table and the regular table. If you're going to attach it permanently, no worries except to be sure not to tighten the bolts to the point that the plastic base splits."
"For small and detailed work, this is a must have!!!"
"Then hardly used top of the line Dremel, the lock started slipping."
"Anyhow as far as the table goes, it's easy enough to operate, has simple, readable instructions in several common languages and may require a bit of reading and/or watching YouTube videos for those, less familiar with these types of miniaturized tools, or power tools in general. I.e: Safety Glasses, finger guards and make adjustments with the tool UNPLUGGED. The only real drawback is, mounting your Dremel tool in this decice takes a few minutes, and of course, that tool can not be used for any other purpose while mounted."
"Creates a beautiful router bench for the dremel and is nice-looking in the garage."
"If you raise the bit, find you overshot the intended height, turn the adjustment screw the other direction to lower the bit, nothing happens. And if you loosen the clamp knob, raise the vertical, tighten the clamp knob a different amount than before, the bit might actually be lower than before."
"Love this thing, easy to mount and I've done a bunch of routing on 1/4" plastic sheet now and it is great."

Best Router Tables

Bosch RA1181 Benchtop Router Table
This benchtop router table includes mounting hardware, features a tall aluminum fence with adjustable MDF face plates, two outfeed shims, and an aluminum router mounting plate. Aluminum fence with MDF face plates; aluminum router mounting plate.
Reviews
"Although I would have preferred a full sized router table with a cabinet, my limited space made it impossible. I buy with value in mind employing a computation of price, quality, quantity, reputation and life cycle. The numbers (including a great sale price from Amazon) landed me on the RA1181 with trepidation after reading many reviews and not being able to get my eyes and hands on one. As a mechanic/technician, I'm fairly picky about machine tolerances so, I was a bit put-off by some of the reviews I've seen complaining about warped tops. Wood, depending on how dense the species is, will expand and contract over time, humidity and temperature at least as much if not more than 0.004. Speaking of 'nice touch', there is an outlet to support your shop vac or whatever you're using as a dust extraction system, a real time saver. I square up a piece of scrap and tack a guide on the end so it follows the edge of the table top. I wish the carriage bolts in the feather boards were a little beefier but, that's only a little annoying in initial set up of a project. It's sort of adequately supported on one side only and feels cheesy as it deflects when operating the switch. Summary: Other than those couple of nit-picks, I'm pleasantly surprised by the convenience and functionality of this tool and would recommended it to the small-shop woodworker without much reservation."
"This table rocks - has a nice heavy cast aluminum table and fence."
"But, if I was a serious woodworker I wouldn't be storing it on my 4 wheeler."
"I've used it quite a bit so far and don't have any complaints; it is very sturdy when clamped to a workbench, the safety features are good, and it's relatively light (even with the router installed) so moving it in and out of the garage isn't hard and can be done with one person."
"If you have a small shop like mine but want a solid router table, then the Bosch is for you. Router install easily and table levels within minutes."
"I'm a amature DIY'er and wanted to replace a router table that i lost in a fire..i originally bought the Grizzly T10432 table but when i received the phenol plate was shattered and returned it and bought this one...much better..has sturdy cast metal table and insert plate...everything was flat and easy to set up and level the insert plate...pre drilled for my Porter Cable 690 router...works great for my needs mounted on a locking wheeled rolling cabinet and i can use the table and plate later when i build a permanent base for it... the stand could be mounted on a piece of flat stock for for jobsite use.. very happy with it...would recommend for anyone that does not need for everyday use."

Reviews
"The rotary tool came with a collet that was far too big for the Dremel drill bits."
"I can see why some people have trouble with the chuck and small drill bits; it's like going to your. drill press and trying to use a little drill bit on that big chuck; not easy, and half the time you. get a wobble out of it."
"The big issue is Dremel's poor job of marking which collet is which size."
"Great product as now you no longer need to find that missing wrench that fits the lock nut."
"The four collets included with the Quick Change give the confidence of a snug and secure fit for a longer task, while the Keyless Chuck is very handy for a less demanding application. The Keyless Chuck is secure, but the Quick Change Kit offers an exact fit and the added confidence that goes along with that."
"This collett fit my B&D Rotary tool fine.Hold bit & tools great."
"This may be the best Nut Kit I've ever owned."
"They were not pricey and all of the rest are good."

Reviews
"Frankly I find the font to be boring, but I manage to sell a few signs in the course of my sales of outdoor furniture."
"With the 1.5 inch templates I found that it is easy to knock them out of the rails with the router if you are not careful."
"The screws that came with it weren't the right size and the screws for my router weren't long enough so I had to buy new ones."
"At 3/32, the one letter I cut was perfect and did not need sanding or removal of fluff at the edges.. At deeper depths, it certainly does. Nevertheless, despite those things, the kit does allow me to create signs, albeit, signs that need a little work after cutting. The second sign I created came out perfect, except for the top of the A. I have two of them in my name, and one of them chipped out the top of the A where it comes to a point. As it is, I'll cut both of them down a bit to just below where the tearout is on the one A."
"I looked at other reviews carefully before finally deciding on this stencil kit and one review showed letter damage from trying to use it which made me a little nervous."
"Wow, a good quality product and design."
"If you're careless enough to break simple plastic and metal parts, it's only a matter of time before you make another mistake and end up in the ER."
"Wish there were multiple S, E, I, M letters."

Reviews
"Who says an "old dog can't learn new tricks?""
"These are awesome when they work where needed, occasionally it won't work on my router table due to the board width being just the wrong size and putting the magnets over the miter slot, then I often have to switch to using a miter slot feather board which is much more work to get into position and adjust when needed."
"Strong Magnets, On off works great, Large size."
"I've used many a feather board in my time."
"Oh my God, do these things hold."
"Just received my magswitch featherboard this morning and had to try it out right away, works great no complaints.But will keep my old wood featherboards for supports when feeding things thru until i get to the blade itself which is were my magswitch is located so I get a true good cut."
"This is a valuable addition to my shop tools."
