I have this 6 piece set on order for $6.99 ($0.85 each) - compared with $5 - $11 PER BIT when you buy the brand name Dremel bits. Here's a link if anyone's interested: http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=47412 My first $6 Dremel wood carving bit is already dulling up, and I haven't even got through one tiki yet. Since there's really no way to sharpen these bits, it could get pretty expensive. Hopefully the harborfreight bits will hold up a little better. Even if they don't, the price is right. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Benzart, That's an amazing array of carving bits. Have you used this supplier? Any other good (and inexpensive) suppliers?
