Yup, only problem is you have to phone to order (no online facilities).

Prompt and efficient service, prices not too bad, very happy with the quality. If its any endorsement, Gifkins router bits are sourced from this crowd. I'd rate them at least as good as CMT etc.

We sell them all the time.
Very efficient service.

Thanks guys, turns out their office is 30 seconds from my wife's work )

Excellent service and top quality bits. Very good supplier to deal with in my experience

Cheers,
Dave

Now all you've gotta do is convince your wife that you really really need them.

No problem Noel. She has her money and I have mine. Well, sometimes there's something left ;-}

I noticed that the local TotalTools (Preston) has some of these bits discounted.

Excellent source of router cutters I have been using them for the past 25 years very good quality and a great range of cutters (Face/edge) cutters

Ok to deal with, James Gobby & Geoff Schupp are the guy's who have the store.
Any issues ask to speak to them.

Have been around a while now since moving from across Erindale RD,where they originally had Woodstock.

Very friendly and accommodating folk.

A few years ago I went on a tour of their factory one night with the then Triton Woodworkers club and saw how they were made.

Great night and they looked after us with demos etc. Got quite a few of their bits and they are great.

I believe Gifkins get their router bits made by them and the old Triton (pre GMC) used to get their bits made by them as well.

Hi John
I'm sure you meant Carbetec and not Carb-I-Tool

Tom

They are pretty good bits.

Since Carb-i-tool themselves are not really set up for online sales, I just ordered a couple more from:

Australian router bits and cutters at apworkshop.com.au

They keep the complete Carb-i-tool range, plus some other economy bits as well.

Tried my new Carb-i-tool rebating bit (with pilot bearing) yesterday - cuts beautifully ! IMHO the Carb-i-tool products are at least as good as Freud or CMT (if not better), and are often cheaper too. You are paying an awful lot for that orange paint.....

Support your local manufacturer !!

They dont have dovetail bit as far a i have searched.

Sorry got that wrong they do.
