I'll be going to the show sunday 2/9/97.   If anyone who has been to it 
already this year could comment on the bargains to seek and scams to 
avoid I would appreciate it.   Any pointers at all could really be 
service and time saver to all who may read the responses to this 
post.  
I've been going for 6 years.   I plan to purchase a raised panel door 
bit set with cove & bead for 1/2 inch router.

>bit set with cove & bead for 1/2 inch router.

 I went fri. a.m. and the place was literally shoulder to shoulder inside.
 Eagle Sales is running a couple of specials on  their bits, including 
the bits you mentioned. They're also selling bits at a buy 3 get the 4th 
for free deal, so last week I posted a ? about the quality and recieved 7 
responses--5 good and 2 bad reviews. Based on this, I worked my way to 
their booth, got what I wanted, Tried to wander around and watch those 
guys using all those jigs and fences they have for sale, (they always 
make it look sooo easy) but the place was just too crowded so I spent 
less time than usual. Probably less money also.
   oh yeah.. those 4 bits??
    1/2x1/2 spiral upcut
    2" flush cutter
    3/16 beading bit
   and a small molding bit
   and thanks to all who responded to the questionaire.
