This router bit set is a good starter set. Plenty of included profiles which cut reasonably well given the price.

La presentación es increíble y de muy buena calidad

How hard is it to see that the set is not complete. Where is the quality control? Sad.

This set of Router bits is a great per-bit price on some hobbiest grade router bits. They are your basic, cheap, yellow bits that you can find all over the place, but in this set, in this case, they are a bit more special than average.
I do wish the case could stand on its side (with the handle up). The hinges prevent that from happening easily. It would make it a lot easier to store if I could stand it up and slide it onto a shelf, rather than stacking it on top of or beneath other boxes of router bits.
Be aware that this is a metric set. Because the description says “1/2 inch, European Edition” it might be unclear that you are getting a metric set of router bits. The shafts are 1/2 inch (probably, I haven’t measured them), but the heads are all labeled in milimeters.
I would suggest double checking which bits this set has and comparing it with the types of bits you foresee yourself needing. There’s some redundancy here with all the straight bits that could have been avoided and replaced with some different profiles or angles or specialty bits. Not a criticism that takes off any stars, but it is something to think about before purchasing.

I was really blown away but the quality of these bits. The day after I got them I used them to rip a total of 320 linear feet of custom stair rail. The bits were really sharp, and remained sharp even though I pushed them to rip deeper than I probably should have. Also my materials had a decent amount of knots that the bits just chewed right through, leaving a nice smooth finish. I would have no issue whatsoever with slapping these on a router table for bulk processing in the future. I highly recommend these.

I like this set, it has some interesting sizes in it. I really love the price and they are 1/2 inch shank to boot. These are nicely made, they cut well, you can sharpen them with a Trend diamond card. I love collecting different sets like this so I have a huge variety of shapes and styles to chose from. I know some of the wood working snobs and eilitists will turn their nose to these but there is nothing wrong with them. I will buy the expensive ones but only when I find one that I use so often that it makes sense to upgrade the quality and expense that much. I have so many router bits that I have used a few times, once or twice, and some even never, so why waste your money if you are just creating a collection? A set like this is perfect for that and I think they work just as well as a the higher end quality ones. I clean my router bits often to keep all the resins and junk off of them, that helps a lot, and I always look at the edge quality before I start and take the diamond card to them if they need a touch up. I do that regardless if I spent thirty four bucks for the set or a hundred buck for one bit. These are a great bang for the buck and I really like them.

My system for router bits is buy them cheap first and if you wear one out, then it’s one you should spend more for a top quality bit because you use it all the time. But who wants to be without a bit when you need it for just one small thing. So, I have a set of 1/4″ MNA bits that have been doing a nice job for me on various woods for several months now. So far those have shown no signs of wear and have provided accurate and smooth cuts for me. Seeing the 1/2″ made me think they would also be a good set to have around. It comes with metric sized bits, so if you are SAE only, you may not want these, but for many uses, I find it nice to work in metric since they are my own designs and the math is easier. These bits seem every bit as good as the 1/4″ set I have and my tests so far have shown they do an excellent job in regards to accuracy and smoothness. For this price, you won’t regret making sure you always have the right tool on hand.

I’ve used so far one of the rounder bits in a router table to soften the edge of quite a lot of hardwood shelving, and it has performed flawlessly. the kit is nice, the case is nice, the price is even nicer.
I don’t know what makes these “European” other than showing metric sizing, inch measurements are also included. They are maybe not quite as beefy as some more expensive bits, but for anyone starting out or who wants to add a generous collection of bits to their cabinet at a bargain price this is very hard to beat. I see nothing at all to complain about.
I would not have ordered this kit except for the 1/2″ shanks. Many such kits marketed at entry level woodworkers have 1/4″ shanks, do yourself a favor and go for 1/2″ shanks- they will be more secure and stable and just all around work better. The only caveat is that they won’t be useable in compact trim routers, which typically have only a 1/4″ collet.
If you are a newer woodworker, or just want to add some additional bits, this is a very cost effective way to do it.

I didn’t really need all these different kinds , but this was a good price break. Nice packaging.
