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

Met expectations

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”).

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.

Did a nice job running through some PVC material. Clean finish. With it came with a bearing or two, as I elected to buy a bearing to get the depth of cut closer to what I wanted. Not a big deal, but spent more on another bearing than the cutter! Happy with it, runs chatter free.

Easy to set up and works good.

worked exactly as I needed it to.

Good router bit for making slots in the back of picture frames.

This is a great bit for the money. Sharp and accurate. Dropped it a few times as well and the carbides havent chipped, so it seems pretty durable as well. Would buy again.

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
