    Default QLD seller on Ebay with ridiculously low prices on router bits

    Hi all, came across this seller in QLD, the prices he has on TCT router bits is just insane, as an example he's got this profile router bit at $6.95!

    And he does combine postage, so for my substantial order courier delivery was $18 all up.


    Go crazy, I did! ;-)

    He has been around for quite a while. I have bought various things from him over the years. While not the best quality available, the router bits are extremely good value and the owner is good to deal with. I think the product is sourced from India. We have picked up locally when I bought an engineer's vice several years ago.

    Recommended for the budget end of the router tooling and based in Oz.

    I picked up my order today, i wouldn't call these router bits budget from my first impression, 99% of my router bits are CMT, so i can only reference off those.

    I've seen worse in bunnings

    Visually they look good, well made and machined, the truth will be using them to see if they are true and how long the edge last.

    I grabbed these, as i'm sick of blunting up my good CMT bits on materials other than wood and these will do the job

    I received my parcel and they are sensational! I couldn't be happier!

    Very nice quality, carbide on some is not quite as thick as it is on some of my (very old) Carbitool, but definitely a massive notch up on the overseas ones I've been buying, and they look pretty much every bit as good as my CMT and Carbitool cutters.

    The little machining I did with one of the flush trims was perfect, no different to my other brand cutters.

    IMHO they're easily the best value cutters I've ever bought, and cheaper still than the inferior Chinese ones!

    How do you get the combined postage? I don't see an option to request that, my postage is more than twice the cost of the bits!

    Cheers Andrew

    It was the same for me as the request total didn't work, I just made a list of the items, the auction number and the quantity and messaged Greg, and he created an auction for me with the reduced postage so I could pay using afterpay (which is really handy!).

    The quality is just amazing on these, I just wish I had bought more of the ones he's now run out of. Apparently he's getting out of the game so he's just selling off the remaining stock.

    cheers, Ian
