I bought this a while ago for my son-in-law who is a woodworker. When I asked how it was holding up he said he still uses it and it's perfect for his work.
Pros
For multi-axis 3D carving of complex structures and small parts
I cut initials with it. Crunchy slices. My router's bit usually lasts a while. I used Whiteside, just wanted to try Yonico. I will update if I see excessive wear.
Bought this bit to replace one from another company. I thought I would save about $20. My old lure is similar to this one, coated, probably indistinguishable. My older part spent several years carving 3D models out of wood on my CNC machine. This blow lasted 10 minutes. When I brought the CNC machine back about 10 minutes after the cut, smoke was coming out of the drill. The wood (cherry) turned black from the heat of the bit. Now I have to order another bit from the company I used before. This
Pros
Highly polished solid carbide shank for precision and precision
