The internet's a great source. Amana, Freud, CMT, Whiteside to name a
few brands. Prepare to spend some bucks for quality. Tom

In my opinion, MLCS (mlcswoodworking.com) is a good balance between
budget and quality if you're not using these bits full-time. I have
their 15 piece set plus a few individual bits and I've been very happy
with them, great cut quality, etc. They are a step below Amana, CMT,
etc, but definitely several steps above the $1/bit chinese ebay special
sets.
Infinity is another very good brand (infinitytools.com).
Good luck,
Andy

Koz, take a look at http://www.whitesiderouterbits.com/. They aren't
exactly cheap but they are known for their quality. You might also take
a look at Amana router bits. Let me throw out a little advice if I may.
I would only buy the bits that you have an immediate use for and build
your inventory in that manner. That way your only spending your hard
earned money on what you need and will use. Bit sets are impressive but
many times you'll end up with bits you'll seldom, maybe never use.
Unless you have deep pockets, there is no use throwing your money away.
