Yonico Router Bits Slotting Cutter 1/16-Inch 1/4-Inch Shank 12101q

It’s fine, just a little bulky of a bit

Your add didn’t state the diameter of the bit . It would have gone too wide.

In my opinion, Yonico makes quality router bits. This one is tricky because 1/16 is such a narrow cut. Its really just a horizontal saw blade. I bought this to install vinyl T-moulding edging in a custom melamine sewing table top. First thing to know is you dont need to make the full depth cut in one pass. Three passes or more works best in my experience. Doing it in one pass builds up WAY too much heat and youll ruin the bit in no time. The cutting teeth are so narrow at 1/16 that the metal disk is almost as thick. I actually wire-brushed the pretty yellow paint off to reduce friction-produced heat. This seems to help, but multiple passes still recommended for a full depth cut. [Edit] In the process of learning the above, I pretty much had ready heat-damaged the bit, making the carrier disk brittle (photo). Working on my second project, one of the teeth snapped off. Cant blame that on mfr. as I clearly mistreated the bit. Ive ordered another and will be more careful this time.

Routing a spline into Baltic birch plywood for plastic edging. Right after making the initial plunge cut smoke was everywhere, the paint coating had come off and was burning inside the plywood. Fixed the problem, inspected the cutter and felt OK to continue. Started cutting again and got about one foot and noticed severe vibration coming from my router. The cuter had warped and was cutting a way bigger kerf. Dont buy this product or anything from this company they make junk!

Nice construction and very clean slot cutting. Used it to make slots for installing polycarbonate glass into an indoor French windows.

I thought I was getting a good deal on this bit, review seemed fine. I used this bit once, for a total of 10 minutes. First the paint coating melted, then the metal holding the carbide blades began to warp. Thank god I was wearing safety glasses, because 10 seconds after it started warping, one of the carbide blades flew off and hit my glasses. Never buying this brand again. Will update with a picture when I get back home.

Have not used it but is a very well made bit I think it will work fine & accuracy & durability to be very good, as most products from company are.

Router bit worked exactly as I needed it to. I used it to cut a channel in white coated Melamine board to accept “T-Edge Trim”. Adjusted easy on my router and cut nice and true.

Poor quality

Reasonable price - used to groove composite decking for clips - made two passes
