Oldham Viper router bits - any good?

[gidon]

I need to put an order into Tilgear and thought I may try some of their router bits (I like the look of the rebate set) - made in the USA. FWW gave them the thumbs up in this review:

They're similiarly priced to the Wealdens I tend to get. Anyone used them? Any good in your experience?
Cheers

the Oldham Viper bit I am using in the picture - they really are the B&Q bits of the USA.

'Nuff said perhaps?

Cheers, Alf

Thank Alf - based on that pretty thorough test by FWW perhaps Chris was unlucky or the collet extender was to blame? Was the problem with just one Viper bit Chris?

Cheers
