Yakamoz 1/4 Inch Shank Rabbet Router Bit with 6 Bearings Set | 1/8, 1/4, 5/16, 3/8, 7/16, 1/2 Bearings

Was so excited to receive this bit so I could recess a piano hinge in the new fallboard I made for my Baby Grand piano. BUT when I received the bit, the set screw that holds the bearing on was stripped and at first I couldnt put the size bearing on that I needed. Finally after using a locking wrench I got it off. I switched the stripped set screw out and was excited to use the router. BUT when I began using it, it DESTROYED my router!!!! It made the router smoke and burn up and though I had assured that the bit cleared the plastic housing, it destroyed the housing. I was lucky I wasnt injured. BTW- this router was fairly new and I had used it without any problems a few weeks ago to round-over a few edges so the problem definitely was the rabbit thing bit. In addition, the cut was TERRIBLE! It wasnt smooth at all! From reading other reviews it appears that the company that makes this bit has a QUALITY CONTROL problem. If I had known this I wouldnt have BOUGHT THIS BIT! Now I am out a router!!! And I cannot afford to replace it. I am a disabled widow with NO MONEY. So thanks for NOTHING Yakamoz!

The bearings smooth and precise. The retainer screw fits well. Blades are very sharp and cut clearly without burning or blow out on plywood. I definitely want to check out this manufacture’s other bits.

Bearings change out easy. Overall quality isnt too high but for occasional use it will be just fine. If you intend to use a bit like this a lot or in a professional shop...Id probably get something nicer. What little Ive used mine so far, the cut has been good. Smooth and no issues. I just dont see it holding up under a lot of use. But I could be wrong. Hope I am.

Im somewhat new to routers and bits. That being said, in my opinion, the quality and accuracy of this set is very acceptable for the money spent. Ive seen this set by other manufacturers costing up to 3x as much as this one. Id buy this set 3x over rather than spend 3x as much expecting 3x the accuracy and quality. Cuts precise and clean. The plastic box to house the set could have been larger but protects the bit itself and is acceptable. I am very happy with this purchase.

I used this set to rabbit some very hard Brazilian cherry. They made nice clean accurate cuts. I took off a point for durability because the carbide cutters are thinner than true professional grade but they’re great for home DIY use.

I have rabbeted about 50 feet of cabinet backs with a Dewalt router at speed setting 3 and the results are good. Clean cuts, no vibration and no tear out. As long as I dont run this bit at to high a speed I think the sharpness will last. The wrench that comes with the bit doesnt fit tightly so I used a 2.5mm wrench to loosen the bolt so I could change bearings. The bolt took considerable effort to initially break the torque, nothing I havent encountered with other new bits.

These bits are great and I have two (one for the workshop and one for my toolbox when Im on the road). I use them often and the ability to change bearing sizes is fantastic.

The screw isnt precisely machined so is a little tough to screw/unscrew when changing bearings (yes I cleaned it out). But the cuts are accurate. The lack of shear angle means taking smaller cuts is recommended vs hogging out much over 1/8 at a time, but it works fine.

Bit may be inexpensive but it served its purpose well. I used this while making 4 table saw inserts. My plywood was too thick so i used this bit to cut a rabbet so the insert would sit flush. Plywood is rough on router bits and this survived 4 inserts. So the bit has paid for itself when considering the cost of factory made inserts. 4 inserts would have cost over $100. The only issue is some of the yellow paint flaked off so minus 1 star but really a great deal when compared to cost.

I bought these because i wasnt having a lot of luck making precise rabbets for boxes on my (lemon of a SawStop) table saw (which has since been replaced and seems better). These rabbet bits and bearings work very well.
