YONICO 16122 2-1/4-Inch Door & Window Casing Router Bit 1/2-Inch Shank

Are these the best bits available?No.Will they cut?Yes.Is it worth it to buy cheap instead of a brand name?In this case, YES!These may not be the very best bits out there but for the price and quality of them, they are pretty good. If you want to make a few things on the weekends then I would look no farther.If you are a professional and need to use these bits all day every day, then maybe look for better quality. Then again, I've gotten other brand name bits and they have come damaged or lasted only a few BF before breaking.As long as the customer service department is still pretty good then you can't go wrong with these bits. Even if they break, I can buy 6 bits for the same price as 1 bit from a brand name company. Stop paying for a name or certain color. Its 2023 and planned obsolescence is in full effect so it doesn't matter anymore, all products are designed to break and not last very long. So might as well save a few bucks and get the cheap set. All the router bits and other products start life in the same factory, it's only the name that changes.

Wow this thing made me the beautiful bottom moulding on my small cabinet décor piece. Finished product was so niceHave used it several times and but has held up just perfect.

I initially gave this one star, and I'd have given it fewer stars if that were possible---just a quick on-off of router to check and the whole table was vibrating. Would have torn up my router bearings had I tried to use it for any length of time.UPDATE: The folks at Yonico CONTACTED ME about the problem. They asked for more details, which I provided. They then sent me a replacement bit, along with postage-paid packaging to return the initial bit to them. They wanted to find out what was wrong to avoid future mishaps. THAT IS RESPECTABLE. THAT IS HONORABLE.The new bit was checked for runout before leaving their factory, and I'd assumed it would cure the problem. Unfortunately, it did not...it still vibrates and I don't have a bit that works. It seems unlikely that I'd get two bum bits in a row, so perhaps I have a problem with my router. But the important point is the customer service and efforts to correct a (perceived) problem...you can't get much better than that and they have my respect.

I've bought a bunch of Yonico bits and will stick with them unless I have a particular need for a high-priced one. This one was plenty hard to use but mostly not the bit's fault. Hard wood, vertical cut on a wide piece with no bearing caused a lot of frustration until I added enough clamps, guides, and featherboards that the piece could only go through the right way. Anyway, the reason for the comment is that in that situation I'd have liked to run the router as fast as possible, but felt that it shook too much when I tried. It didn't change my good impression of the brand.

Runout in bit causes grub screws to walk themselves all over so router plate gets out of plane with the table top. After using shoe goo on the grub screws and strong featherboards the height of the trim, shallow passes still look terrible. I will be buying a higher quality bit.

Works as expected. Do not use on a single speed router if your not installing on a commercial shaper! Check the speed charts and see if compantible or buy a speed regulator. I had to check the manufacturers site for optimal running speed. More info should be included. Bearing on top not the best quality. Works great once dialed in. Nice clean cuts over many feet of solid knotty Alder stock so far and blade still cuts smooth.

Resistant and stronger

Router shakes horrible when running this bit. I run other large molding bits with no balance issues like this.

Very good quality for the money. Have made mouldings for my whole top floor with this. 8" baseboards, door & window casing too. I should point out that I used MDF, still cuts like new. I clean the blade with a good degreaser often.

Buen producto, de muy buena calidad, la moldura es de muy buen diseño y tamaño.

A solid product.

Bon pour du bois mou et utilisation occasionnelle

Exelente productoMe gustaría que yonico también fabricara moldeadores para trompo (shaper cutter) sería excelente ya que al igual los precios son accesibles
