Where do you folks buy your bits for the Keller jig? I have the 2401, but I got it with no bits. I'm looking for the small set to use on woods no more than 3/4" thick. A friend gave me the Amana numbers, but they apparently don't make the 7 degree dovetail bit anymore. Since Amana is no longer a viable option, I'm looking for some suggestions. I could get them direct from Keller, but they seem kind of pricey. Thanks!!!

seems like one of these will work
The straight bit is easy just a 5/8" top bearing bit will do it
you can get it there as well
may be too long

Last time I bought them, which was some time ago, I bought Whiteside bits: specifically made for the Keller Jig. The jig I have is the plastic one where you provide the mounting block.

These seem pretty reasonable:
Have never purchased from them, so YMMV

Thanks everyone. I did speak with a guy at Tools Today, but they can't get the Amana bit because Amana stopped making it.

More than a few years ago, I bought a replacement set from Keller. Can not recall what the price was at that time.
How much does Keller want for the bits?

The standard size bits are $94 and the small size pair is $79, plus shipping. I ordered the standard size set from Brian at Holbren. They are Whiteside and are the same ones as sold by Keller. With the Woodnet discount, Brian saved me about $30.
