I love Yonico beats. They are definitely not Amana, not Freud and not Whiteside. But you don't pay that much either. If I was beading all day or had any type of production I would probably pick a better piece, but for a project or two this will do. This one cut well, there was a slight tear, but it was my fault for not burying the bit in the sacrificial fence. Otherwise, it runs vibration-free and feels pretty sharp.
