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

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

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.

This bit is a waste of time and your money. The bit dulled on the first use. It cut through plywood with an extreme amount of tear out. It would not cut through hardwood. Save yourself some grief, and look to a different bit manufacturer.

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.

worked exactly as I needed it to.

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

I was a little worried about using a 1/4 shank bit for slots without bending the shank. I set it up on a router table and adjusted the guide, and taking my time I slotted about 200 ft of softwood and 60 ft of hardwood and the bit worked fine. Some tearing of the softwood and a little scorching of the hardwood. Bit still looks good and my projects done.
