[QUOTE="fasfocus00, post: 7734176, member: 576857"] most of the bits that are $40 a pop last a good while. example I bought a $10 spiral bit, changed it twice in 1 year. bought the $25 (shipping included in price) spiral bit and 2 years later still cuts like day one. if I would have just started with the $25 bit. i'll just tell you from my experience as I haven't used every brand bit. I started with a Ryobi fixed router and Craftsman plunge router. I started with Harbor Freight bits and they cut well out the box but after a bunch of passes i could tell the cuts were not from a sharp blade. first was a $20 (eBay) Bosch flush trim bit, it's been cutting like day 1 for over a year. I have a Ryobi roundover set that still cuts like day one and i've had it for over 3 years. I have a larger 3/4" roundover bit from Frued and same as the Ryobi roundover bits lasting over 3 years. I have a Milwaukee Rabbeting bit set that I got on eBay for $30 shipped and it's been good to me for the near 2 years I've had it. personally i say don't go cheap but also don't go for the most expensive.
