Looking For Recommendations For Miniature Router Bit Sets

I am wondering if any of you have purchased any router bits or sets of bits designed exclusively for small work on jewelry boxes and clocks and such. If so what brands have you use and how do you like them. I would be mostly interested in something carbide tipped and of a good quality. Any recommendations?

Thanks Richard

I've been happy with the ones made by Dremel.
I have nothing to compare them too though.
They come in both HSS and carbide 1/8" shank.

Dremel makes both a plunge router attachment and a small router table.
They are typical Dremel quality - ie. hobbiest.

I scrounged some good ones from my dentist once.

I have a couple of Lee Valley small moulding bits which are excellent, maybe JUST below Whiteside/Freud level. However, I don't know if they have any profiles that would be useful for you, I think they only have a dozen or so profiles.

Rich thanks for the tip but I would need somthing in 1/4'' to work with my currant table.
Van I will check out the LV site and see what they have.

This is what they have, I think they still sell them individually. http://www.leevalley.com/en/wood/page.aspx?p=30226&cat=1,46168,46179

I picked up the 12pc Stone Mountain minature profile set from Peachtree last summer. They aren't Whiteside quality, but of the few I've used so far the cuts have been clean. http://ptreeusa.com/stone_mountain_bit_sets_page_1.htm#3768
