Whilst perusing some of my normal haunts, I found this:
http://preview.tinyurl.com/2e4ubn6
In case that doesn't work, it is a vendor that sells on Amazon that
has a lot of different styles (actually useful profiles!) of Milwaukee
router bits for just $4.99 a piece.
So there is no whining about where they are made, I am sure they are
Taiwanese. But for 5 beans, use the hell out of them, touch them up a
couple of times and toss them.
The nice thing about Milwaukee is that they still back their products.
Excellent prices on some of the profiles.

Heck, Leon... you get tired, you get sloppy.

I was never much into organized sports. OTOH, a pickup game of baseball was
always fun. I now work for a company that makes sports electronics (the
headsets coaches use on the sidelines is our main product - ~100% market
share) and I live next to a big SEC college. There is a *lot* of money in
this; 87,000 seat stadium X $50/ticket, minus $0 for players' salaries, you do
the arithmetic. Always make sure your target customer has money. ;-)

Spent almost 30 years in Oak Ridge, TN, <30 mile from K-town, home of
the Tennessee Vols. Football talk radio is nearly 24/7, 365 days a
year. We've been gone 10 now and every time we return to visit
daughter/g-daughters in Maryville and tune to John Wilkerson & Jimmy
Hyams it's as though the conversation hasn't changed a bit since were
there full time...
Neyland Stadium seats over 100K...I'm not sure who's ahead in the
continual leapfrog race w/ Michigan for the largest stadium; it changes
frequently.
As for expenses, the outlay for student athletes is considerable even if
not in direct salary; the value of a full-ride scholarship is not
inconsequential. In addition, major D-I football programs subsidize
every one of the minor sports in all programs and even mens' basketball
in all except a very limited number of programs. Virtually none are
fully self-sustaining in revenues w/o alumni support and particularly TV
revenues--it's why the conference realignments of recent times and again
this year are occurring in large part.

Thanks for that, Robert. I have zero in terms of router bits, other
than these odd-ball V-cutters and ballnoses for my cnc. For my hand-
held Ridgid router, one that I am very pleased with, I have one
straight bit, so this is very helpful. I won't be buying 'collections'
again, as most in those kits are never used (by me).

Unless revenues:expenses have changed markedly for the better, I don't
think so from simply game revenues they cover expenses even for the
majors. Didn't used to be so, certainly.
Without alumni support and particularly TV revenue and licensing
revenues, last I looked other than two or three at the outside
(UT-Austin is, but they have outside revenue from oil royalties as does
the whole UT system that puts them in a completely different ball game
compared to any other institution I'm aware of) actually are ahead
simply on ticket revenues.
Now, if they only had to support a de minimus football program (and
could keep the same fan support and therefore ticket prices and
attendance which is extremely unlikely for the long term) and weren't
also supporting Title IX and all, then, _maybe_...
I doubt think more than the top 10-20 or so basketball programs break
even and at one time when I did a fair amount of looking into it
although it's been quite a while ago now, there were only about four --
UK, Duke, UNC and KU. But, the do all still play on hardwood floor to
keep on topic... :)

Penn State's Beaver Stadium is right up there, only 200 seats behind Michigan
and a 3000 ahead of Neyland. ;-)

The top football schools certainly are self-funding (capital construction
expenses likely not, though). As you point out, they (usually football and
basketball) pay the freight for all the rest of the sports programs.

They did thirty years ago and they do at the majors now (they've added TV
revenue inbetween). When I was at UIUC they claimed the sports programs were
self-sustaining, and here at Auburn they are, too, at least according to the
interviews on the local talk shows. ...and forget about teams like Notre Dame.

Nope, $35M + TV and radio revenue is a *lot* of money.

Nope. A *lot* of them make money. Many schools sell out big domes. UIUC
always sold out (17K), I'm sure Syracuse does pretty well too. There is TV
and tournament revenue there, too. Down here in the South, probably not so
much.

Around here it isn't natural to not be interested in two or three
teams as a minimum. Passing knowledge of several state/local/
professional teams is certainly a must, as from time to time you will
be called on to join in a good cussing of them when they do something
dumb. You can give a convincing performance if you don't know some

------------------------------------------
The folks in NE Ohio can commensurate with your group.
As a kid the Cleveland Browns were my team.
Otto Graham was quarterback and for ten (10) years from '46 thru '56,
was a time when the Browns WON and then "Otts" retired.
Starting in '57, the Browns didn't win any more except in '64.
1960 and Art Modell comes to town and buys the Browns with other
peoples money.
1964 and Paul Brown (The team was named after him) is gone as coach
and the Browns win the championship.
Fast forward to the '90s when carpetbagger Model moves to Baltimore.
During those 40+ years, the only winner was Model, not the Browns.
Home games were played in Municipal Stadium, with 80,000+ seating
capacity.
Season ticket holders had every seat between the 30 yard lines.
Sell out crowds were standard.
Being a winning team was not.
Loge boxes were added, but limited.
Cleveland knocks down Municipal Stadium and builds a new stadium on
the old site with lots of loge boxes.
Cleveland gets a replacement team.
It's not a winner either.
During football season, the TV sports programs spend all week crying
in their beer.
If you are a sports fan in NE Ohio, ya gotta be tough.

I like how there's a Forstner bit in there. Anybody want to chuck

I was a little guy when I younger so I played golf and baseball in school.
I never ever had any interest in any of the other sports. If I am not

I am not sure, but I *think* excluding football would be illegal.
Certainly a sign of bad and suspicious character.

professional teams is certainly a must, as from time to time you will
be called on to join in a good cussing of them when they do something
dumb. You can give a convincing performance if you don't know some
names!
Additionally, we have a LOT of duffers that debate the nuances of
their favorite game amongst themselves for hours on end. Talk about
some mellow guys...
Frequent topics for discussion:
- ANY sport except soccer and women's professional basketball
- Kids did something good; accepted to college, got a scholarship, did
something mature for a change, got a new job, etc.
- I love my wife/girlfriend/new squeeze because she "............."
- A new restaurant
- New cigars
- Barbecue (this is a really hotly debated subject - I mean that
seriously)
- Local politics are actually OK since >everyone< agrees our guys are
all idiots
- Cowboy movies (older guys like John Wayne, younger guys split
between The Duke and Eastwood)
- Hunting
- Local entertainment (a couple of jazzbos like me in the group)
- Is Jessica Alba hotter than Sela Ward (split along age lines there)
- We have three guys with sons in Afghanistan on the front. We always
make sure they know we care
- Ditto with one club member soldier going back in October, and one in
November
- Fishing
- Bourbon
- Scotch
- All types of music
We actually have a very active Bible study group that calls themselves
"The Holy Smokers!". Bad pun, I know. But they keep it all to
themselves and they go to their meetings to discuss their views and
become enlightened.
Everyone leaves that place happy.

Believe it or not, those are the things I hear (seemingly) constantly.
These days there seems to be no end of absolute experts that
understand facts and "the real truth" like no other time I can
remember. So many experts... they are all so sure they are right.
Anyway, I belong to a cigar club here in town. Yup, we get together
and smoke cigars. Actually, it is a social club of guys that just
want to get together off and on and have some good conversation and
relax.
One meeting a month, and the rest of the time we all just run into
each other in the smoking room at the humidor/store. It is made up of
mostly middle aged and older guys from every walk of life.
We have a large carved sign that says "The Happy Place" place in view
of all. It is now the registered, recorded name of our club.
NO political discussions are allowed.
NO religious discussions are allowed.
NO complaining/whining about marriages or girlfriends.
It is an amazingly fun place and good group to be around when you take
all that crap out of the equation.

The biggest surprise to me is that they actually had something besides
a straight bit on sale. With a bit of looking, I am sure I could
find out what dimensions those dovetails were so I could get the ones
I needed for my fixtures.
It seems that every time someone has a bit sale they only have
straight bits.
I am going to have to bite on the slot cutter and mandrel. At $5
each.... I can't buy a Chiawanese set anywhere for that.
As far as a full bit set goes... no kidding! I use a couple of the
roundovers, the ogees, and that's about it. No more of those for me
either. I have a ten year old set that I got on auction and haven't
used but 7 or eight of the 25 bits.

Heck, Leon... you get tired, you get sloppy.

And from both sides of the aisle: Please don't tell the President
there is a number higher than a trillion...
And the reminds me of the joke I heard a few years back at the expense of
Bush.
The general walks into the briefing room to inform Bush that 2 Brazilian
troops had been killed in Iraq.
Bush responds with the comment and question, that is terrible and just how
many is 2 Brazillion?

Thanks for the link. It would be kinda nice though if they'd show you the actual useful
dimension of the profiles (the radius of a round-over, for example) instead of the just the
overall dimensions of the bit...

I like how there's a Forstner bit in there. Anybody want to chuck
that into a router and see how fast you can drill holes? I'd do it
but I don't want to di...errr...I'm busy with other things.

A friend of mine's dad died recently, and they sold all his "stuff". He
would buy out storage sheds. He had two twenty foot containers full, plus a
yard full of extra stuff. I spent $400 and got some smoking deals.
I got a 1.5 HP Craftsman router on a big Craftsman table, and two sets of 32
bits each, never used, in nice box with glass front for $60 for all. I had
about two dozen router bits I already wasn't using, so it looks like I'll be
building some birdhouses and honeydoos as soon as the weather here cools
off, and I can work in my containers without passing out.
I'm looking forward to playing around with them, and I'll always think of
Curtis when I'm using them. He was a nice old guy. Always smiling.

I thought that's where he was. No one talks about college football in Texas?
I found that strange, but if you need a fix, AL, IL, and OH will cure that
fast! Living in a college town (again) my wife *hates* football season. The
two cities here total maybe 80K, plus 25K students, and a, 87K football
stadium. The school year is crowded enough but football weekends are nuts.
