Review: Good value - Great storage and guide as well as bits Review: Broke the first time using - I purchased this set on Nov. 30, 2019. Today, Nov. 29, 2020 I had a project that required using the 1/4" Straight bit. I drilled a hole in the plywood since I do not have a plunge router base for my Porter Cable 890 router. The first circular pass went well. I was routing less than 1/4" into 3/4" plywood. Upon lowering the bit I proceeded to route a second pass, again this time less than 3/16" in depth. The bit lasted at best 5 inches before it broke off inside the collet. Needless to say, I waited far too long to even attempt to use these bits to ask for a return/refund. I will attempt to contact the supplier to see if they will stand behind their product. Not holding my breath. Update:Dec.8,2020. I received an email today from Trend stating that a replacement bit is being sent. They do stand behind their product.!! ## Features - VERSATILE CUTTER SELECTION: This 12-piece router bit cutter set offers popular TCT bits for decorative and constructional woodworking, from fine furniture to small joinery. - UNIVERSAL 1/4 INCH SHANK: Featuring a 1/4-inch shank diameter, these router bits are compatible with most router models.

I saw a review on you tube and the guy had decent things to say about the trend bits. I have test four how them on pine. No burning good smooth cut. I did have one bit slide In the Collett. Not a big issue.
