Review on Yonico 12243Q Router Standard 4 Inch by Richard Lamptey

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Decent set of bits once you get a balanced set.

I bought a set of these cutting plotters despite the bad reviews because I figured I could send them back if they were out of balance. Well I received the first set and immediately took them to the router table and fitted them into the router exactly as they should be. Slide it out and then move it 1/8 inch from the bottom. I tightened the collet well, set everything up and turned it on. He literally shook the entire table until he started walking on the floor. I turned it off and installed it. A knife for bars was made in the same way. It was much better balanced so I did a test cut. Cut straight and clean. So I arranged for an exchange because of an unbalanced rail blade. Revain are great as always, processed the return promptly and shipped a new set. Thought I'd give them one more chance to get a balanced set before asking for a refund. The new set arrived and I took it straight back to the router, gone again.router just like the beginning, and this time everything went incredibly smooth. The router didn't even move, not installed in the table. I then installed a tile cutter and it was well balanced too. Test set in some reclaimed wood to see how it fits and is low and lo and behold it was great. The handrail and crossbar were tight enough to provide an interference fit and need to be gently pressed together. The edges are clean and there are no gaps in the profile. In summary, once you have a well balanced set, they work great.
