Silverline TCT Router Bit Set – 12 Piece, 1/4" Shank Tungsten Carbide Tipped Bits in Storage Case (792084)

Silverline do it again! I recently purchased the Black And Decker KW900EKA Router Var Speed 1200 Watt again at a fantastic price, and my review on that items page will atest to how happy I am with that purchase. I have made no secret, through my quite frequent reviews of Silverline products I have previously purchased, that I have been extremely satisfied with their quality and very competitive pricing. This wonderful little set is no different. It comes in a nicely made wooden storage case, unusual (and a most pleasant feature) in the days of plastic moulding. The set comprises of twelve different pieces, and each piece is accompanied by a small information sheet with the specifications and a diagram of the actual cut he piece will produce (a nice touch). I have not had cause to use all the pieces yet, but the ones I have used our of a good quality and certainly appear as if they will provide me with some long term use. The set comes with the usual Silverline lifetime guarantee, as long as it is registered online within thirty days of purchase. It should be noted that this set is 1/4", to go with my 1/4" Router; but there are also 1/2" sets available (to be used with the 1/2" Routers!). Well done Silverline.

Having decided to get a router I needed some suitable bits to get started. These are ideal for that purpose, they appear well made and so far all the bits I've tried have performed as expected without any problem. This set was great value when compared to the cost of buying big name bits that are typically more expensive for a single bit than for this whole set. Granted they may not be the greatest but I'm not the greatest woodworker and for a beginner or infrequent use this set is just right. Recommended.

These bits worked perfectly. The price is excellent. I am routing cavities in electric guitar/bass bodies for pick ups and these work great. I would have given 5 Stars but the retaining sockets they fit it have plastic collects that hold the bits tightly. The box they came is is fine. While the wooden retainng pieces are not ok. The shank ofthe bits are protected with a hard drying grease. Trying to remove the first bit I severly gashed my hand. The wood inside holding the bits is also extremely flimsy. I used a drop of baby oil on all the rest. The smallest amount worked and just levered the bits out one at a time and cleaned them. This solved the danger problem. I then superglued in situ the retaining wood that accomodates the bits for storage. It's no longer dangerous to remove the bits!

Nicely packaged, ideal set with all the profiles you will need to get you started. Locating collets are a bit tight so be careful when removing cutters as they are very sharp. Good price for this set,.

Great item for the price. But the 45 degree bearing is to small as it cuts into the timber. I had to replace what i was doing because of this. Now i need to get new bearing that fits to he able to use it. Should not have to do this when buying a set. Or least has a few spare bearings. Shall keep as they cut well just let down by this item

I'm no expert when it comes to routing. I just got a Bosch router and these bits recently. I just made a small picture frame using three of the router bits. I was working on ordinary pine and I found it very easy. The quality of the cut seemed very good and litle sanding was required. The bits are well packaged and a good starter for the beginner like me.

Having an older router with missing bits, I decided that I needed a low priced (cheap) set to help me channel my creative streak. OK perhaps not that creative but I needed to rout a few simple bevels, edges and holes. This set certainly has the right amount and variation of bits to fulfill most DIY jobs. Does the job, bits stay sharp and a half decent box to take up more shelf space. If your looking for a router to access the internet or improve your range this is not for you, however if you are looking for a value for money and fancy a bit this is certainly worth your consideration.

Great value and decent quality set, ideal for amateur use - much cheaper than buying the bits individually. The quality is pretty good and you can get good results with them, although after a few uses the 12mm straight bit shattered while in use. Luckily I wasn't hurt but I never did find the pieces!
