My guess is no. I did a search on the bottom listing and it sells for $60
for 12 router bits. Don't seem likely they would be high quality. But for a
buy it now price of $20, it may be worth a try.

I've used the smaller version of this set (bought at the Borg when I
was just starting out). I really wouldn't recommend the Hickory bits
to anyone.
Had the opportunity to use a couple tonight from the 24 pack and I was
impressed. Nice clean cut on red oak and the PC 690 router didn't even
notice it was routing. Time will tell of course so will reserve judgement
until a later date.

I think Hickory is the Borg "high end" for "sets"...if they are junk, then I
will return the 24 piece set I bought yesterday for much more than $20.

Thanks for the info about Oldham...the HD guy said that too but damned if I
can find any mention of them on the 24 pc set. If true then I think all
will be good with the world. I buy their 10" sawblades and would put them
against any more expensive blade I've ever seen.
BTW the Borg sells the 24 pc set, all in 1/2" shanks, for US$99. Figure
I'll use about 16-18 out of the 24 but if bought separately they run about
$12 each for the smaller straight bits to $30 or more for the more
complicated cutters with bearings. So I think the price was right (and the
case is the most functional thing I've encountered in some time).

i have not tried there router bits but if the forstner bits are any
indicator i would not bother with them. i bought the set of forstners
and was not too pleased with the edges out of the box. poor castings
and dull. took em back. skeez
