Yo Yo Yo $5 deal is back

[papadan]

Woodcraft has thier anti-kickback bits on sale for $5 each again. This time they have a bunch of new profiles to choose from, including top and bottom bearing flush trim and a dovetail. 19 different ones instead of the same old 10. http://www.woodcraft.com/family.aspx?familyid=5774&refcode=06IN03RL

I needed a couple things from Woodcraft so I decided to try a couple of these bits, I shied away from them in the past sales and had convinced myself to only buy premium bits but at $5 you really can’t go wrong, provided they don’t turn into shrapnel. Besides, can you really ever have too many router bits?

Thanks PapaDan for the heads up on that.

Will look into some more this weekend

I hesitantly grabbed a few of these a few sales back. I've been surprised and happy with the bits. I've been rougher with the straight bits than I would normally, and they have stayed sharp. Now, I grab a few at each sale. The new profiles Dan mentions are on the list, especially the flush trim.

I started using these bits a couple years ago, and stock up whenever they have this offer. Only 1/2" bits I own except my cabinet set. Never had a problem with them.

Can these bits be purchased at their local stores? I have one close by.

Yes you can get that price at the stores. If your store is like mine, they normally will have 5 different bits in stock for this deal. I ordered 10 and paid $8 shipping. Got them in 2 days. The next time they run this deal I will stock back up on the ones I used the most up to that time. I have one roundover that has been used enough to need sharpening, but the local shop wants more then they cost.
