Cheap solid carbide bits

[ken_rychlik]

I ran across an ebay seller selling porter cable 1/4 inch solid carbide stragiht plunge bits for a very cheap price.

I bought a few and gave them a run. They cut out my prefinished plywood cleaner than my mortise compression bits. I have not cut but about 10 sheets with the first one, but even if that is all they are good for, it's worth it. It is also listed as a good plastic cutting bit, but I haven't tried yet.

I contacted him and purchased a LARGE quantity for myself, and wanted to pass along the info for others.

Ebay item number 390184767446

These are 4 bucks each with free shipping and he has some sets of 10 for 34 dollars as well.

Kenneth,

Thanks for the post, I just bought 10. I use this type of bit all the time.
