Best Carbide Router Bit Quality (Overall)

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.
