Too bad they don't offer a set with only #1,#4,and #6.  I use #1 all the time and would buy 4 & 6 if they were on sale.

I saw that one this morning Ed.  It is a good deal.  I'm trying to justify it in my mind.  I don't do a lot of picture frames, but I think they would be nice to use making boxes, etc.

I purchased this set Face Molding Bit Set (http://www.harborfreight.com/4-piece-c3-carbide-face-molding-bit-set-92498.html) from Harbor Freight and have used them for over a year to make my frames.  8)

That looks like a nice set Russ, I'll take a run down to Harbor Freight and check it out.

Thanks.

I can't say I am a big fan of Harbor Freight, but I can say I bought a raised panel door bit set there years ago and it worked out fine.  If you like the set they have, visit this site http://images.harborfreight.com/hftweb/campaigns/localmedia/general_may2012/images/22.jpg for a printable coupon for 20% off any single item in the store.
