Review on 🔧 Yakamoz Matched Tongue Groove Woodworking: Achieve Seamless Joints & Superior Precision by Wei Fan

Bits are ok so far. Not sure how they carry them out of the box given the looks and performance. they don't inspire me because these are high quality beats. I tested them in pine, at low speed and with a few small passes. They have a slight vibration which I find reduces accuracy with just one touch. The cut quality is on par with other "budget" carbide drill bits, certainly NOT as smooth and clean as Freud's or even Bosch's. I bought them for edge banding but haven't tried them on plywood yet. The fact that pine is cut to the grain and only gets a "decent" cut makes me wonder if they can crack and/or fluff a little in the layer. Given that a 1/4" center grooving cutter has some vibration and doesn't cut very smoothly, at least in the set I received, I wouldn't go thinner than 3/4 layers. And lately I've been using layers thinner than 5/8 and haven't seen a piece of 3/4 lying around, I figured it was big enough to try but small enough to go to waste at current prices. In my pine test, the spacing between the reeds is about 1/16th. and the bottom of the groove (I can crush it HARD and get about 1/32) and a gap of about 1/64 between the sides of the tongue and the wall of the groove. The gap along the side of the spring is small enough not to wobble. the gap is thus the line between the strapping board and the layer. Edgebanding shouldn't take much effort, right? So if you used a strapping board that is slightly thicker than the plywood sheet, then sand it back flush with the surface of the plywood and you should be fine. If you've used them to join the edges of boards, they probably work, too, if you don't mind sanding. Alignment wasn't that difficult - I took a 3/4 thick 2x4 sawn off, cut it in 1/2 for test pattern so the pieces weren't planed and butt joined. Regardless, I only took a step forward between the boards that was 1/64 plus or minus by eye - I could see and feel it, but it's easy enough to sand down if you want. Considering the "good" quality and the 1/4" center groove/tongue that makes me uncomfortable using them with <3/4" ply, they won't be widely used in my shop . But they are worth keeping I think. Considering the price I am not disappointed. If I had paid much more for it I would have been upset. Considering the limitations I will have in using them, at around $20 they are "decent" but not exceptional value.
