Source for V-carving bits

[joewino]

What is a good source for V-Carving bits? I looked in the Onsrud catalog and their online store but they listed only one type. I am needing some bits with different degree angles.

Try Carbide.com, or PriceCutter.com to name a few.

I get mine from MLCS. However, I teach high school students so there is a good possibility of crashes and messed up bits so I don't get the best of anything.

Try these people for a good selection of angles:
Gerber - http://www.gspinc.com/products/routers/bits_carving.html
Her Saf - http://www.hersaf.com/cutters04.html
Cheers, James

I got a 120 degree V-bit from Hersaf and it is great. I am going to get some different angle V-bits from them too.

I've been suprised by the quality of the true value hardware freud v carve bit (suprisingly they also carry amana bits). And before I bought a shopbot, I thought freuds were
premium...

(btw, is it froood, or froyd or some other pronunciation?)

I have grown to dislike freud. They use to be good... but in the past year or so they've gone downhill in quality control. I have an Incra jig and make boxes, dovetails etc... I needed a 1/2" straight bit so I picked up a freud from the depot. The finger joints were sloppy. The bit was significantly undersized. Freud gladly sent me another undersized 1/2" bit and let me keep the original... I was thrilled. I purchased a Porter Cable 1/2" bit that works well.

I tend to purchase at the point of need so I generally don't make it to the ordering stage. For existing items that need to be replaced, I'm happy ordering and waiting... unless of course it breaks and I'm back at de-pot.
