The best number of pieces in a router bit set depends on your project needs and your desire for versatility. Larger sets, such as those with 8 or 12 pieces, offer a broad range of bit profiles for various tasks, while smaller sets or specialized pairs are great for focused applications. For example, the Amana Tool AMS-408 8-Piece Dovetail Router Bit Set is ideal for dovetail joinery, while the Timberline TRS-120 12-Piece Carbide Tipped Router Bit Set covers a wide range of general routing needs. If you only need to perform specific tasks like edge banding, a 2-piece set like the Amana Tool 55468 2-Piece Edge Banding Set is both economical and effective. Many options are available, from compact specialty sets to comprehensive multi-piece collections, so you can find the perfect fit for your workshop. These set are what I use in my shop and have never had a problem caused by the bits , the only problems I have had are Operator problem (Me)
