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

Unfortunately, this cutter has a poor design and burns before it cuts, even at shallow passes. This one warped after the first use. Get the BOSCH 85526M 1/16 In. Carbide Tipped 3-Wing Slotting Cutter Bit instead.

Using cutter for rail and stile dado cuts for raised panel doors

I used this on medium speed on oak to make 6 large cabinet doors..uniform cuts to the end..no burning or tear out in the cut or by the roller bearing.

Product was delivered in a timely fashion and met my requirements at a very competitive price.

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.

Used for 3 cuts totaling about 4ft in plywood before it flung one of the cutting tips off, overheated, then warped severely.

I bought that slotting cutter bit to make custom grooves in square-edge composite boards with a small hand router. It works perfectly for the purpose.

Used it to slot in pine boards for plywood panels. It did the job well.

This company makes great cheaper router bits that are just as durable as the expensive companies. Haven’t had an issue with any router bit purchased before.

Great product and very strong
