Yonico Router Bit Review (2021 Updated)

So, we’ll start off with the best overall set of router bits by Yonico that we could find, and that’s definitely the Yonico Router Bits Tongue & Groove Set 15221.

There are various versions of router bits that perform different actions, depending on the type of router you have and your latest project.

In this case, Yonico offers you a set of two reliable and durable router bits that are perfect for carving groove and tongue joints.

The experienced woodworkers will know that groove and tongue joints are almost always applied in the manufacturing of tables, floor tiles, and panels.

Essentially, it is a joint that consists of two boards that are connected edge-to-edge where a raised surface of one board fits the indentation on the other.

It is a well-known process in woodworking, and you’ll often encounter such joints if you’re just starting out. In case you try it out, these Yonico bits will be the perfect fit for you.

The cutter bits are made from C3 tungsten carbide, and it’s become a standard for manufacturing all sorts of cutting tools since it’s almost as twice as durable as steel, and it showed excellent durability over time.

Moreover, the bits are brazed with silver for additional strength, so you’ll have no trouble when it comes to determining the wood you want to work with - these bits will cut boards that are ¾-inch thick with ease.

Also, these bits are manufactured for fixed routers, meaning the models that are mounted on a router table.

They are generally considered more stable and enduring, and you might want to start with them if you’re a beginner.

All in all, they have excellent quality, they do the job, and they’re definitely affordable, so make sure to consider them.

Moving on, the next set of router bits is also manufactured to create joints, but we’ll be talking about rails and stiles in this case.

Of course, Yonico has got you covered with the Yonico Router Bits Set Rail and Stile 12249.

Similar to the previous bits, this set is also capable of making deep cuts up to ⅜-inches. They’re more precise considering that rails and stiles are generally used to create wooden doors, and every cut needs to be perfect in order to assemble them.

The same thing as before is that these bits are also assembled by utilizing the strong tungsten carbide, which prolongs their life and also offers incredible strength.

It also has very low electrical resistivity, which is why it’s relatively safe with electronic tools and appliances.

They measure 6.25 x 5.25 x 3 inches and weigh only 1.25 lbs, so there won’t be any stress on your router, and you’ll be able to maneuver with ease.

Also, they are a bit pricier in comparison with other bit sets on the market, but their overall price is generally low, and they should last you a while with proper care.

The thing we really didn’t like was the tear-out. It is common with router bits, but you’d expect that such things wouldn’t be a concern with a higher price tag.

However, you can battle against tear-out by using a backer board during cutting.

The fact that router bits are generally cheap doesn’t mean that you should go all out and buy the most expensive one, especially if you’re talking about dado bits. So, here’s our budget pick, the Yonico Router Bits Dado Set 14323.

The first thing we want to tell you is that, unlike with the previous sets, these bits are actually not limited to tabletop routers. They are versatile and can be used with both handheld routers and on CNC machines, aside from table routers.

The second impressive thing is the price-to-quality ratio. It is one of the rare sets that is sub-$20, and it even comes with three separate bits - ½, ¼, and ½-inch dado bits for plywood, and all shanks are ½-inch.

Overall, these are the standard dimensions for router bits, so it’s unlikely that you’ll miss the one you need.

As far as their build is concerned, we have another C3 micro-grain tungsten blades, which is perfect for most types of wooden stock that are often used in woodworking. Also, you can find the same set with the ¼-inch shanks if that’s what you need.

We were able to test them, and the end result was quite impressive. The edges on the stock were quite sharp, and there was little to no debris in the end.

Also, lower-quality bits will sometimes require you to go over a cutting line multiple times to get the desired deep cut, but there were no such issues with these Yonico bits.

All in all, they were quite well, and there’s no reason not to purchase them if you’re building a new cabinet or a bookshelf.

Next, we have one last router bit set to present to you, and then we’ll move on to some concrete details in the following paragraphs. Until then, here’s the Yonico Router 3-Bit Set 12335 review.

Same as in our second review, we’ll also be focusing on rails and stiles, but we’ll be talking more about Ogee-style woodworking.

Generally, Ogee is a pattern with two curves that widen towards the edges and then narrow down to create a distinctive shape.

Many people like this style and utilize it for cabinet doors and wooden doors, which is why there’s a demand for bits that are capable of producing such patterns.

Of course, Yonico has the answer with this set that features three bits with ½-inch shanks that can be used for stocks that are up to 1-inch thick. They are made to be used with table routers for the precision that’s needed to create the rails and stiles, and they do weigh a bit more than usual, about 2.05 lbs.

They measure 9.25 x 4.5 x 3.75 inches and have round shanks with a straight flute.

Of course, the build is made of trademark tungsten carbide that is absolutely necessary in this case since creating Ogee-style rails is a bit more complex than carving out standard joints.

Overall, you won’t find a single thing wrong with them except for the price. They are the most expensive bit set on our list, and it’s for a reason - the quality is superb!

If you’re in need of a durable set that’ll do the job, this is definitely our recommendation.

Finally, you would have to ponder on the price. Is it at a reasonable price?

This would lead us to the next consideration which would be shipping. For every purchase of any set of the router bit, how much would it cost you?

Thereafter, think about the durability of the router bit. Does it last long? Or, do you need to buy another one to compensate?

The usual buyers of router bits are those that does woodworking for a living and those who have been doing DIY (Do-It-Yourself) tasks for a significant amount of time.

For those who are new to router bits and woodworking, you may need to shy away from buying router bits on your own.

Made in China, Yonico is a lesser-known brand for router bits. Upon checking on their website, they claim to provide the best value in router bits.

In addition, Yonico asserts that they provide these router bits at an ultimately competitive price that does not compromise their highest standards on quality.

Say, you buy their Yonico Router Bits Set 50 Bit 17502, you would be getting a well-adorned solid wood storage case where the 50 professional quality router bits are encased.

Apart from that, you are ensured of quality products wherein they promise their consumers, “Satisfaction Guaranteed”.
