I'd be interested in hearing the group's opinions on the best carbide router bit manufacturer (strictly in terms of quality) which is demonstrably still in business (i.e., answers its phones). I've been using Jesada for several years but have gathered that it may no longer be a viable point of purchase.

JC, I now buy only Whiteside bits as I need them. None better IMO and they are made in the U.S. A. A lot of places have them. Just Google for Whiteside Router Bits.

IMHO, CMT is the best, Amana, Whiteside, Freud. In that order.
Best quality, price not a factor?
IMO - CMT
I'm using exclusively Dimar router bits. They're made in Italy and they're high quality. Never had a problem and they also have a wide variety of models... Check them out

Whiteside
After making several bad purchases based on magazine reviews (including FWW which surprised me), I only buy Frued and Whiteside. To be honest, I don't think I ever tried CMT (just for reference sake).
Whiteside are by far the best I've used although I think the Freud in many cases are just as good and are a better value.
