As a Geek, I see power tools just a little different than most. I'm excited about the details and which ones have what makes sense instead of just which one is best for the ego. Sure, I like powerful. But I also appreciate it when someone just gets the balance of power and usability right.

Coming Soon - Limited Quantities

Be on the watch this week for some bits from "Hickory Woodworking". They'll show up on our New Additions page, right after they hit the RSS feed. But what's so special about them?

Amazing Value!

Yes, I said amazing. I picked up one each of the larger kits today. I'll add pictures once Doug gets them for us, but I'll describe these larger kits right now.

16 piece Forstner Bit Set (FBS-1016)

This kit has sizes from 1/4" through 2-1/8" in 1/8" increments. These are industrial quality bits for use in hand drills or drill presses for making flat bottomed holes, recessing counterboard screws, creating decorative edges, making pocket holes, or even large pilot holes. It comes in a carrying case with a large window on the front and should be priced right around $30.

24 piece Carbide Master Router Bit Set (RBK1031)

This 24 piece router bit kit includes many of the most common bits in a carry case with a window again. I bought the 1/2" shank variety, but it is also available in 1/4" shank. Either way, there are the following bits:

3/8" keyhole
1/4", 3/8", 1/2" and 3/4" straight
90° 1/2" V-groove
1/2" dovetail
3/32" classical
1/2" and 5/8" core box
1/2" flush trim with bearing
1/2", 3/8", 1/4" and 1/8" roundover with bearing
1" rabbeting with bearing
5/32" roman ogee with bearing
1/4" and 3/8" cove with bearing
1/4" ovolo
1/2" hinge mortizing
45° 1-1/4" chamfer with bearing
1/2" panel pilot (1/4" panel pilot in 1/4" shank set)
3/16" half round

Once again, an amazing value that will be priced around $30 as well.

Limited Quantities

Quantities are limited on these bits. They'll be sold on a first come, first served basis. If you can't wait for Doug to add them to our site, you can always call in and buy them ahead of time. There will be some other sets available as well, but I don't have those in front of me at home tonight. I just have the ones I purchased in front of me right now. Again, watch the RSS feed or the New Additions page if you'd like to see the rest of the sets that will become available. They should be online tomorrow (3/14/06) or Wednesday at the latest. Being a reader of my blog, you just happen to get to know about things before we start selling them.
