Does anyone have experience with Grizzly’s router bits. I need to run some baseboard trim and don’t want to use a seperate base cap. I found the profile I want in their “green” and “purple” colored bits.
I only need to run the baseboard for my house (~1400 sqft). I’m not a production shop or a pro trim carpenter so buying the highest end bits because they are more durable doesn’t make financial sense.
However, I would buy the more expensive bits (Bosch and CMT are what’s available locally to me) if the Grizzlys
1)provide horrible quality cuts and
2) won’t even last long enough to run the trim I need
The particular bit I want is ~$40 at Grizzly and the Bosch/CMT are about $65. Not a trivial difference.

I have limited expierence with grizzly router bits. I have a set of round over bits (4) in a wood case.1/2" shank, do not recall the color. They work fine, have used all four sizes with the 3/8" roundover used the most. No complaints with these bits.

I have a number of their simple bits.... flush trim, roundover, etc., no fancy shapes. They are perfectly fine. I was there a couple of days ago and bought another handful.
Not sure about Grizzly but I've been using this company and like them a lot...especially their sale proces or "overstock" items. http://www.infinitytools.com/departments.asp?dept=1384

I think Fine woodworking had an evaluation on router bits some time back and included Grizzly. I would check over at knots.
You get out of life what you put into it......minus taxes.
