My approach to the bits question has been “buy the cheap sets, then replace the ones you use enough to have to resharpen with good, expensive ones.”

Amen to sharp bits. I'm a fan of cobalt and cryogenic bits as well...

I'm a fan of cheap tools but expensive (for me) sharp bits. Seems to work better than the other way round. Tony
