Review on πŸ”ͺ Yonico 2 Inch Edging Router - Model 13166 by Harald Patterson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

You get what you pay for.

You get what you pay for, but let me be a little clear. For the past 3 decades I have worked as a woodworker using various router bits of varying quality. Yonico bits are mid to low end bits that will do what you need to do if you are careful and patient with them. These aren't top beats that leave a much smoother edge, but you'll have to pay at least twice as much to get this level of quality. I needed to round the corners of a white ash top chest a bit, and knowing I would still have to hand sand, Yonico did what was needed. Anyone who has worked with white cinders knows how easily they can break under the weight of a router unless you are patient and know when to "work backwards". By making a few shallow cuts I avoided chipping and ended up with a decent enough edge that just needed a little sanding. If it was a more complex design than a rounded chisel I would probably spend the money on a better chisel and skip the Yonico. As it was a simple rounded tip I had no problem using this tip with the full expectation that some touch up with sandpaper would need to be done to complete the process.

Pros
  • Fine quality C3 tungsten carbide blades for a sharper, longer lasting blade
Cons
  • Quick Start Guide
