I normally buy my 1/2" from Wealden which are excellent and have bought 1/4" Erbauer from Screwfix which are good value. But this week I bought this template cutter to cut out a 3 x diamond stone holder, I only needed it to cut 2mm deep but it cut really cleanly.

Wealdon, Infinity and Titman in that order, but Infinity do some nice cutters for traditional mouldings and a great flush trim bit.

Axminster for me but to be fair mine don’t get particularly heavy use.

Wealdon and Titman are certainly much better than axminster in my experience.
CMT are good as well. Trend pro are nice.

Actually some of the "cheapo Chinese " cutters I have tried have been good, especially the solid carbide ones meant for CNC routers, it is however a quality lottery.

Depending on what you are doing it can be a good idea to get replaceable tipped cutters.

Another vote for Wealden - excellent service/advice and very high quality products.

 

[Myfordman]

The only reason to look anywhere else apart for Wealden is if they don't happen to have the type/size you need.
Their lip& spur drills are superb too.

I've had freud bits for years. the set in the plastic carrier is actually great. better bits always have angled cutting edges. sharpen and clean every couple uses and they last and last

Titman Bits are suberb quality, also bits from the German company ENT are also of a professional quality at an acceptable price, however they only offer metric sizes
