delivered for my 3/4" round over bits and they are of so-so quality. From the
picture and the price these are bottom end bits with no kick-back protection.
But for a one-time project, if you don't force it, it should be OK. Now if you
want real top quality bits, the Italian Freud products are it.

all should be well. I suspect that this is a Chinese product made for the US

Thanks for checking. This is a cheap bit, good one would cost £25-30.
