    Default Spiral upcut bit prices

    Now that some new catalogues have arrived, it is interesting to compare prices for solid carbide spiral upcut bits from different suppliers. I should note that my most recent CMT catalogue is for 2000, but prices are unlikely to have fallen since then.

    MIK CMT LEE VALLEY
    1/4" $101 $41 US$17.25
    5/16" $231 $67 US$28.95 (plus US$3.25 for bushing adapter)
    3/8" $231 $109 US$29.75 (plus US$3.25 for bushing adapter)
    1/2" $254 $109 US$47.50

    I can only say that local suppliers must be supreme optimists if they expect customers to pay around four times as much for the privilege of buying locally.

    I feel better now.

    Awaiting a couple of bits I ordered from LV the other day, I now rest assured I made a prudent fiscal decision.
    Plus delivery time from Canada is heaps quicker than western Sydney. :eek:
    Boring signature time again!

    Has anyone had any experience with the McJing spiral bits?

    Mat,

    Just bought a 1/2" one from McJing for $55, and IMO it is a good bit. My experience in routing, however, is limited.

    It left a very clean finish on Ringed Myall.

    Is there anything easier done than said?

    P.S. The CMT is $119 for the 12.7D X 50.8 L (cutter). As of the 2004 cattledog.
