Yonico 13168 3/4-Inch Radius Round Over Edge Forming Router Bit 1/2-Inch Shank

You get what you pay for, but with that being said let me elaborate a bit. Having been a woodworker for the past 3 decades Ive used a number of different router bits of varying quality. The Yonico bit is an average to lower end bit that will do what you need it to do if you are careful and patient with them. They are not top end bits that will leave a much smoother edge, but you will have to pay at least twice as much to get that level of quality. I needed the bit to round over the corners of a white ash blanket chest, and knowing that I would have to do some hand sanding anyhow the Yonico did what I needed it to do. Anyone who has worked with white ash knows how easy it chips under the strain of a router unless you are patient and understand when to work in reverse. By using several shallow cuts I avoided any chipping and was left with a decent enough edge that simply needed some touch up sanding. If it were a more complex design than a round over bit, I probably would have spent the money to get a much better bit and skipped the Yonico. Since it was a simple round over bit, I had no issues using this bit with the full expectation of having to do some touch up sanding to complete the process.

This Yoniko Roundover bit is excellent. I am new to using a router (not to wood working) and was able to use it within 20 minutes of practice to make this oak display stand for my flintlock. I have to admit, I did watch a few You Tube videos first but I was surprised how fast and easy it was to shape the edge of a piece of oak wood. This is a sharp bit and it cuts effortlessly. Highly recommend.

I am a professional custom woodworker, so I insist on quality results from the tools I buy. I bought this router bit specifically to make 1-1/2 roundovers on the ends of 1-1/2 thick pieces of white oak that form the base of the leg pedestals for a desk/writing table that I am making. Thats too much to take off in one pass, especially when cutting end grain, so I got the final result by taking off about 1/4 per pass until I got the full 1-1/2 radius shape. The Yonico bit cut each pass smoothly and easily, leaving a smooth surface with no chip-out or burning. I have always had good results with Yonico bits, and their prices are hard to beat for bits of this quality.

Worked perfectly edging a mahogany bench top

I needed this for one job and it worked great. I don’t use these much, but it worked great. No burn marks on wood or tool after using it. As little as I will use these why pay more. I ran these on about 50ft of boards looks as good as the high dollar bit would have done.

Great fit in the router, cuts well, at least on pine :)

I’ve had great results with Yonico bits, especially considering the low cost. This one is no exception. It can save a lot of time vs. hand sanding in situations where you want a subtly rounded edge.

Makes nice clean cuts. Havent used it long enough to comment on durability and life. So far, no signs of losing its sharpness, but Ive only been cutting pine.

Used the router bit to round over edges of a scroll saw project. It worked for the 10 minutes I needed. I cant comment on durability or longevity.
