Yonico Slot Cutter Router Bit 1/4-Inch Height X 3/8-Inch Depth 1/4-Inch Shank 14184q

I was looking for an alternative to the $60 router bit that Trex sells to put a groove on one side of their solid decking for your Edge piece. I could not get any internet information to confirm that this router bit would indeed work, so I thought I would make that confirmation for the next guy. So long as you set your height based on the distance of the factory groove from the bottom of the piece to the bottom of your groove this thing will work all day at 20% the cost of Trex name brand router bit

Works fine

Nicely constructed, carbide cutters seemed uniform (least with a Mitutoyo caliper, didn’t bring out the mic to verify). However the bearing shielding popped loose and if I had to guess, it’s gonna seize up right quick with all that dust. Only got about 20 feet of cutting into OSB before this happened. Will try to contact Precision Bits and see if they warranty it (plus I’d like to grab a larger bearing to drop the depth of cut down to 1/4”).

Easy to set up and works good.

worked exactly as I needed it to.

Buy Freud or better

They nice bits, sharp and seem to be last. Would recommend.

First, it arrived on time!! ... about six hours before the deadline!! It looked just like the picture, with a cutting part on each side, and when I put it into the router chuck, it fit! :) When I turned on the router, the bit spun around very fast, just like the chuck! Oh, wow! ... and when I went to make a groove in a piece of pine, it zipped right along like that old hot knife through butter. So smoothly! Couldnt ask for better results ... heres hoping it lasts a long time :D

Product delivered quickly and help me get the job done.

It served the purpose well. For the price it’s well worth it. For a cleaner cut, do the full 3/8” cut in two passes instead one. Well it also depends on the material. Possibly three passes on some dense materials. I used it on pine wood and baltic birch plywood and all worked great.
