YonicoRouter Bits Base Cap Molding 1-1/2-Inch 1/2-Inch Shank 16129

Solid 1/2 inch shank router bit and good performance despite the low cost. We were adding trim work down our hallway wall and used this bit to create baseboard molding and trim around board and batten. All totaled the bit made about 80 linear feet of trim from white pine for us in an afternoon. Definitely looks better than the big box MDF stuff and gives a higher level of craftsmanship to the project.I had a few issues with consistent cuts but these were in my router jig setup and my feeding and speed. After I got that worked out, the bit did it’s job well.

Dont let the price fool you, this is a pretty decent shaper bit that easily cuts black walnut and other types of wood. The bit may not be a brand name but they look and feel just like the higher end ones. Im convinced they are the same, just different paint, different packaging. Ive purchased several of these types of bits over the years as well as the more expensive ones and usually, i use the cheaper ones. The final cut from these are so nice, ive had arguments with coworkers that dont believe the trim they are looking at was shop made by this bit and not purchased from a supplier. Take easy cuts on your shaper and this bit will last a long time.

I cut about 40' of old growth Douglas Fir with this bit and it's already looking dull.The profile is nice, and it finished the job I was doing, but the bit doesn't have a lot of life left.It's already burning a bit, and the cutting are looking more like dust than shavings.I wouldn't plan on getting more than a couple hundred board feet out of this bit.

I ran 80 ft of base cap molding on my first use so the bit paid for itself. Nice cut with minimal sanding needed. Not sure how long it will last, but good so far.

1. The bit arrived in a timely manner.2. It was just as sharp as some of my Freud bits.3. Coating/Paint on the bit seems durable. Not that that really matters that much too me.4. For my needs - ran 64' of 3/4" MDF along it with no issues. (3 passes for all 8 boards to reach desired profile - you probably would want to take too much off at one took, not good milling practice if you ask me)I was looking for a cost effective way to add large baseboards to a room. Settled on buying 3/4" thick MDF, this router bit, and one quart of oil-based primer. Came out to cost me a $1.30 per linear foot. Which, oddly enough, is the same price the big box stores sell just the base cap of the same profile. That doesn't include the price of the baseboard it self being purchased.All in all, great purchase for my needs.

Good cutter for the priceYou can pay a lot more for bigger names but I'm not sure that you need to with this brand very good

The this is a big bit i have a dedicated router table it did what i needed but had to take multiple slow passes

I have so far millled up about 200' with this bit and the profiles are great. I do it in three passes and get perfect results. The bit still seems brand new to me.
