Hot take: I spent $200 on a fancy new router bit set and barely used it.

I bought a big set of profile bits for a big kitchen job last fall, thinking I'd need them for custom trim. The job changed, and I ended up using a simple round-over for 90% of the work. Those bits have been sitting in their case for almost a year now. I should have just bought the one bit I knew I needed. Anyone else buy a tool for a specific project that just collects dust?

Actually having that full set can be a game changer though. You never know when a future project will need that exact cove or ogee profile, and now you're ready. It's like an insurance policy for your shop, saving a trip to the store when inspiration hits.

But what if inspiration hits for a profile you DON'T have?
