Hi folks. Does anyone who actually has a leigh jig have any particular favorite brand of router bit. The bits from Leigh work, but aren't quite as smooth, esp in harder woods, as the ones from Amana. Anyone out there have any favorites brands?

I like the Whiteside dovetail set with 8mm shanks. P/N D108 and includes the 8 mm adapter for a 1/2" collet. I have only used them in hardwoods and they are excellent.

Thanks for the heads up! I picked up a set for leigh (D108) like them they cut through Hard maple like butter! Very sharp very smooth. So I picked up another set for the Incra. They carry them at Dans over in Charles town. The shop someone on here knocked when I posted about the Rikon bandsaws he sells for less than they go for used (My 10-350) set me back $900. so far very pleased with it.) The only downside is that now I'm going tolupgrade every bit I use.
