Portable router table?

Pete:
Where do you store the router bits? Not interested in the routers, just the bits.

One of my first router projects was a wooden box for the bits. White birch. Metal corners. Foam padding. Nothing's too good for my routers and bits. [img]/forums/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Do you keep this box in the local banks safety deposit section?

No, but it's guarded by four dogs! [img]/forums/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Now on the serious side:

Are there any brand router bits, 1/4 in. , that you prefer?
My router is a 30+ year old Black and Decker.

Thanks Pete.

I detest cheap bits, so will avoid at any cost stuff like Vermont American (an insult to this great state!), CarbTech, Freud and the like. I used to like Jesada bits and am still very impressed by them, but my current favorite is Whiteside. You spend a little more, but save a lot of wood.

Thanks Pete.

I've also had good luck with the Whiteside bits. Mine came from the local Woodcraft store.

Egon,

I saw your question about router bits and thought you may be interested in this Router Bit Matchup . They reviewed 17 bits and not surprisingly, Whiteside came out on top. Hope it helps!
