Yonico 13168 3/4-Inch Radius Round Over Edge Forming Router Bit 1/2-Inch Shank

Bits work perfect for our current project

Makes nice clean cuts. Havent used it long enough to comment on durability and life. So far, no signs of losing its sharpness, but Ive only been cutting pine.

Very sharp giving a smooth cut. Seems to be beefier than other bits I have used.

I was really pleased to use this bit today. Cuts very clean and sharp. What a great deal! Im going to buy more of this brand bits. I recommend highly. I was a trim carpenter for ages. I know bits.

Excellent! Equal to many big name router bits, with a price lower than most!

The bits come in a beautiful sturdy wood box. The carbide is very high quality and brazing is very clean on each bit of my set. The non-stick yellow coating is applied clean and even. The bearings are high quality and bolt down well and secure on to the shaft of the bits. The name on the shaft is put on neatly on each bit of the set. There was also an surprise coupon in the packaging for future purchases!. Bits run very well on the router and perform very well hand held or on the table. I have routed many feet of MDF, plywood and soft woods like pine. The bits route clean and there is no strain on the router, I feel that I was able to route my stock a lot quicker than with my lonely old round over bit this set replaced. I had only one scrap of poplar to try for hardwood and it did just fine. Tips: 1) as soon you receive the bits inspect them. 2) be very careful removing them from the box as the carbide will cut your fingers and you see it before you feel it. 3) inspect and clean the bits to remove the manufacturing sticky stuff. 4) The carbide edges on the smallest three bits can touch at their widest point when inserting in the box. Take care to stagger the edges so they dont touch. Update: I had an issue with one bearing and emailed customer support. I got a response in a couple of hours and they only asked for a picture of the errant bearing and mailed out a new one the same day. Thats good customer service. The feel good part of this event is that in the initial response, Jonathan the CSR advised that all the bits of the set have the same size bearing and I can swap them to finish my project in time. Saved my weekend. Thats thoughtful customer service. To watch the this brands bits in action view the review by WoodWorkWeb on youtube.

i just tried this on my router table, and made some 3/4 quarter round. worked great.

looks good and cuts clean, good value for the money

You get what you pay for, but with that being said let me elaborate a bit. Having been a woodworker for the past 3 decades Ive used a number of different router bits of varying quality. The Yonico bit is an average to lower end bit that will do what you need it to do if you are careful and patient with them. They are not top end bits that will leave a much smoother edge, but you will have to pay at least twice as much to get that level of quality. I needed the bit to round over the corners of a white ash blanket chest, and knowing that I would have to do some hand sanding anyhow the Yonico did what I needed it to do. Anyone who has worked with white ash knows how easy it chips under the strain of a router unless you are patient and understand when to work in reverse. By using several shallow cuts I avoided any chipping and was left with a decent enough edge that simply needed some touch up sanding. If it were a more complex design than a round over bit, I probably would have spent the money to get a much better bit and skipped the Yonico. Since it was a simple round over bit, I had no issues using this bit with the full expectation of having to do some touch up sanding to complete the process.

I replaced all of my deck railing caps using 2 X 6s, but I wanted nice rounded edges on the top. This was my first time using a router so I wasnt sure exactly what I was in for. I borrowed my neighbors because I dont own one. I watched a few videos first and read all of the information. First I tried his 1/2 roundover bit, but it didnt produce enough of a radius for my liking, so I purchased the 3/4. I am so pleased with the way it turned out. The edges are smooth and consistent throughout. Using a palm sander afterwards made it look even better. I did not experience any problems at all with the bit. There was a total of about 80 linear feet of 2 X 6 caps that were all being rounded over on both edges. The bit was still just as sharp at the end of the project as it was at the beginning. Couldnt ask for more.
