You can buy your router bits from China if you want. I bring in probably 15k usd per year. My supplier sells ultra sharp endmills or single flute router cutters for like 3usd. Often for routers and custom form tools they are better than the branded stuff here that costs 30 nzd.
Anyway just putting it out there if you are getting scammed locally. Obviously don't want to sell to you..
