Bought this bit for a specific furniture project and it performs very well. Smooth running bearing and clean cuts without any tear-out.

Bought it. Used it. Works perfectly

Bought two different sizes of these bits at the same time to use in my trim router and they were packaged very nicely in their own bags. The bearing turns very easily and the bits are sharp. Everything I want in a round over bit! For comparison, a Whiteside bit like this was $70 each! Yikes!! Buy this, you won't regret it!

Its hard to find these cutters in such small sizes that include the roller bearing.

Worked great. Came sharp, stayed sharp. Quality seems good. Cut a very clean round over. I would buy this brand of router bits again.

I needed a very small roundover bit and this fit the bill nicely. Used on both wood and plastic with good results; but have to say if working with thin material (like 1/8" thick ABS) it can be a challenge to get a smooth consistent result. The small 1/16" or so gap between the bit and bearing can result in ridges. If working with material around 3/16 or better the bearing works fine. Otherwise the edge is still plenty sharp after about 50-60 board feet of cutting and similar amount of ABS.Good product for the price, especially for occasional use

Absolutely zero problems. No tear out. Smooth, consistent finish. I removed 0.5mm each pass, until the last 2mm. Then it was 0.25 for 2mm to 1mm, then the last millimeter at 0.1mm per pass. (If you think about it, the surface area the bit has to cut increases with each pass, so you need to remove less and less exponentially.)Needless to say, this took a minute. But the results speak for themselves. This bit works. I bought it pretty much just for this project... Not sure when I'll use it again... I think for a one off, this bit is perfect.

This1/16 round over bit was tough to dial in. I have to admit the end result of using this bit wasn’t too far off from break the edges with sandpaper. However that was the point of me getting this in the first place. Just not sure the juice was worth the squeeze on this purchase. I’ll keep it and keep trying it out on other projects. For the cost it was worth the experience that much I know but if I felt a more expensive higher quality bit would do the trick I would go for it. But I don’t think that’s the case with this size bit.

The Yonico 13171 1-1/2" Radius Round Over Router Bit is 15.5 ounces of steel, carbide and yellow enamel glory.I am building an all-redwood potting shed for my wife which includes a fold-up potting table. As I am not using metal hardware in the entire construction of the potting shed (no nails, screws or metal hinges) I wanted the table pivot point to be durable. Thus I chose a radius of 1-1/2" to ensure there was plenty of material around the wooden hinge pin to support the weight of the table and whatever was placed on it. I considered several methods of getting a gentle radius to the top edge of the table near the pivot point, including belt sanding, using various power saws, routing with a smaller radius, and combinations of all of the aforementioned. In the end I could envision that the result could be less than visually pleasing. I settled on routing the radius with a big router bit, and after doing some research and reading reviews, chose the Yonico 13171 1-1/2" Radius Round Over Router Bit. I chose this brand due to several factors, including my previous experience with this brand (see below), other reviews of this brand and price point. I pressed the "Add to Cart" button and anxiously awaited the arrival of my new router bit. It arrived within three business days via United States Postal Service in an Express Delivery envelope. The router bit was further encased in a layer of flexible corregated cardboard and securely taped closed. The router bit itself is contained (just barely...it's a really big bit) in Yonico's typical soft plastic pouch. I inspected the packaging and router bit for any damage they may have received in transit. The packaging was intact and in perfect condition, and the router bit was pristine; no nicks or cracks.At 3-1/2" across, this router bit commands respect in terms of making sure that your particular router is set to the correct speed; it promises to do some serious damage to body and equipment if things go wrong. I have a Bosch 1617EVS mounted in a Bosch RA1171 router table. The Bosch 1617EVS router manual is vague regarding the specific speed setting (page 15), stating a range of 8,000-13,500-16,500 (dial settings 1, 2 and 3, respectively) for "Nonferrous metals, larger diameter bits, and cutters". The PrecisionBits.com site recommends that bit diameters of 2-1/2" to 3-1/2" have a maximum speed of 8,000 - 12,000 RPM. Given those parameters, as well as the nature of the wood type and the amount of material to be removed, I elected to be conservative and selected 8,000 RPM.I chucked the bit, made the proper height adjustments, donned my Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and fired up the router. NOTE: On the Bosch RA1171 Router Table you will not use any of the plastic router table inserts; the diameter of the bit _just_ fits inside the opening of the router mounting plate. Prior to purchasing this bit, make sure the opening on your mounting plate can accept a 3-1/2" diameter router bit.ALSO NOTE: I had to completely remove the RA1171 router table fence, as the outside edge of the bit would make contact with the fence facing. I could have made a sacrificial fence and SLOWLY routed a zero-clearance opening, but I elected to simply remove the fence and all featherboards from the table top and make certain I kept fingers out of harm's way. Yeah, highly unsafe, but it worked out.I wanted to be certain that the speed was correct, so I made some test cuts on some scrap redwood. I made several slow-feed shallow cuts to gently remove material. Once satisfied, I then used the same gentle process on the project stock. The Yonico 13171 1-1/2" Radius Round Over Router Bit performed excellently on every cut, and was still very sharp after making over a dozen 22"-long runs. Make sure that you use a backing board, as tear-out on an unbacked board is significant, whereas a fully-backed board resulted in a perfect cut. A little hand-sanding with 220-grit sandpaper on the project stock and the end result was a very smooth and graceful 1-1/2" roundover and a gorgeous fold-up potting table. My wife is _very_ pleased, and that is what really matters.I have purchased the Yonico 17702 70 Bits Professional Quality Router Bit Set, the Yonico 15133 Drawer Front Joint Router Bit and Yonico 14522 5 Bit Straight/Dado Router Bit Set. All of the bits I have used so far from these sets have performed well, thus I recommend these router bits to any weekend woodworking warrior or home hobbyist who is looking for economical router bits that perform every bit (pun intended) as well as more expensive bits.From my experience and perspective, Yonico router bits are not "one-time use" bits as I have read in other reviews. Properly used and properly maintained, Yonico router bits will last many years.That all being said (or written, in this case) for short-term or infrequent use, Yonico router bits are great; if you find that you are using a specific profile more often or if you are using router bits for professional purposes, definitely upgrade to one of the more renown manufacturers.Thanks, Yonico!
