Are These Harbor Freight Router Bits Any Good?

Ordinarily I would not shop for router bits at Harbor Freight. However, these spiral steel mortising bits were so cheap I wondered if they would actually hold up in use. So, I made the purchase and put them to the test. After routing a large number of mortises in pressure treated pine I was surprised by what I found.

Great information. Thank you for sharing with us. Also, if we were paying attention, we saw a good technique for safely backing up the workpiece slightly before lifting it from the spinning bit.

Yes-- good eye. In an upcoming video I'll be showing the project I used these bits for, and it was a LOT of mortises!

Awesome review. I know this video is a couple of years old but I just got the same set today. Well, I think it’s the same set. The packaging is a little different now, and the brand is Warrior not Drill Master. I hope they work as good as the ones you used. Thanks for the video.

Thanks for being brave and trying them out. I see stuff like this all the time at HF and see the price and want to buy but I very rarely do. In industrial applications 3/8 is just as common as 1/2 and 1/4. Pretty much everyone makes these style of bits these days. My local tool sharpening shop that services the cabinet shop where I work, they even have the machinery to machine these up and down spiral cut bits and compression style which is even more complicated. Although the fact they throw the 3/8 bit in with the set, I do have to agree one of the bigger manufactures is probably pumping these out for HF.

Yeah, that's just it--they aren't making these on their own. It's a repackaging of bits that are probably also sold under other brand names. Harbor Freight gets a lot of knocks, but there are some good products there. If nothing else I give them credit for being essentially the last retail outlet dedicated only to tools.
