Thread: Jesada Router Bits

    Jesada Router Bits

    Is Jesada back in business? I used their router bits a few years ago but then they seem to have gone out of business. Or, I heard something about an internal struggle with the Owners or relatives.

    Here is a link to their web site:
    http://www.allita.net/Projects/omnic...x.php?cat_id=0

    They had some good router bits and and really good sales. Anybody know if they are back and the quality of their product? Pricing seems to be higher than Whiteside and Freud bits from sites like Holbren or Hartville Tools . (when using wood forum member discounts)
    The truth is always visible but often not seen.
    Measure twice, and cut--WAIT!-- better measure again then cut once, twice or whatever it takes to fit.

    Their bits seem to be pretty good quality, but their customer service annoyed me last time (search the forums for Jesada to hear my story). Therefore, I can not recommend them.

    "Jessada" only in name at this point...not the same people.

    Consider Infinity as a great alternative.

    I think Infinity is the same guy that started Jesada. I've bought from them. Decent quality; prices great; some items you won't find elsewhere.

    AFAIK, Infinity is the son of the guy that started Jesada....not sure if Dad is involved at all, or to what extent if he is. Good stuff BTW...

    Thanks for the information. I will give Infinity a look to see how they compare (durability and price) with my current stock of old Jesada and Whiteside.
