Milwaukee Router Bit Blowout Sale – $5 Each

Over at Amazon, there is an insane router bit sale going on. Milwaukee-branded bits, both 1/4″ and 1/2″ shanked, are selling for just $5 each. A handful of select styles are $10 each. These router bits are made for Milwaukee in Italy by Freud.

Orders of $25 and up are eligible for free super saver shipping.

    I scored 8 bits last week. 7 at $5 each, and 1 at $10. A truly amazing price for Freud/Milwaukee bits.

    I was thrilled to see the sale applied to 1/2″ shanked bits. I ordered 3 but they’ve not shown up yet.

    crap I don’t even have a router yet, but I want to take advantage of this deal somehow.

    Are there 5 common shapes and sizes?
    I have a $15 amazon card, then I would get 2 more for free shipping.

    CRAP!

    I don’t see myself doing any edging. Mainly just routing grooves or channels.
    I was going to make some cabinet doors.
    The volatile amazon pricing is stressing me out.

    uthscsaedu, I’m [slowly] learning that not every great deal is worth taking advantage of. In your position, you may just want to start off with a set from MLCS or similar until you figure out what bits you use most.

    True there haven’t been that many discounts on Freud bits on sale lately, but they come back every now and then. At one point I scored Freud’s 13-piece bit set for $100. It normally goes for $200, but there were several discounts Freud and home improvement deals on Amazon that stacked together.

    Also, this is not another case of “volatile Amazon pricing. The bits are sold by “Preshers” and fulfilled by Amazon through their warehouses and distribution centers. Based on other Preshers sales, I’m convinced that they must have bought these bits through some kind of liquidation sale.

    A good basic starter set would include a Roundover, Cove, Straight (1/4″, 1/2″), Chamfer, and possibly a flush trim.

    I use a Craftsman relabel of the very venerable Bosch 1617EVSPK. They do have a new combo router that should be hitting the market, but the 1617 is an extremely popular and time-tested kit.

    It is often recommended to get a fixed base and plunge base kit which includes a shared motor spindle, but if you buy one base and want the other at a later time you can usually buy it separately.

    I second, the 617EVSK which can also be had with a stripped-down fixed base for table mounting. We have several of these mounted in portable tables that we use on jobsites. We had heard bad things about dust being a problem for this model for use in this upside-down configuration. Maybe that was an earlier model or Bosch has fixed the problem – but whatever – we find that it works fine and has been reliable for us. We have dozens of mid-sized routers (Bosch and PC)- and even more laminate trimmers (Bosch and Betterley-PC) – and this model Bosch is a well-designed decent unit.
