What am I actually paying for in a more expensive router bit set?
| Part | Low end | High end | How to check |
|---|---|---|---|
| Carbide | Thin tips, grade not stated | Micro-grain, grade stated | Look for a hardness or grade callout |
| Bearing | Open, rough spin | Sealed, spins free | Spin it in the shop before buying |
| Shank | Loose tolerance | Ground to 0.01 mm | Measure with a caliper |
| Balance | Vibrates above 20k rpm | Runs smooth at full speed | Listen to a test cut |
| Profiles | Duplicated across shank sizes | Distinct profiles | Count profiles, not pieces |
The honest split: for occasional softwood work, a mid-range set is the right answer. For daily hardwood or MDF, the bearing and the carbide grade are where the money has to go.
Buying check: a listing that names the carbide grade and the bearing spec is usually a serious set. One that lists only piece count and rpm is not.
