Questions & Answers
I had to buy a 1/2 inch collet piece for the router to accommodate the 1/2 inch arbor, so my answer would also be no.
A 13/32" cut depth is used. Amazon has their own image, but if you search for the original manufacturer's image on google or precisionbits, you'll find all of the measurements listed.
The dimensions are 20 inches.
This item requires the use of a router. A drill is insufficiently powerful and spins at far too slow a speed to be effective. This bit can only be used with a good 1/2" router.

ok but. I'm not someone who consumes biscuits on a regular basis. This line has a lot of bite to it. However, it appeared to me that the biscuits were all at an angle to the face of the wood surface being glued up, rather than perpendicular to it. I'm not sure if the issue was the way the bit was cut, the biscuits, or something else entirely. I'm confident that my plunge cuts were straight and that the router face on the boards was flush. However, no matter how hard I pushed the biscuits into the slots, they all sat at an angle. When gluing up the boards, it resulted in a visible angle change, so I had to rely on dowel rods rather than biscuits. I've never been able to pinpoint the issue, but if I had to guess, it'd be the bit.
Although it appears to be a good bit, the slot it creates is slightly too thick for no. 20 biscuits. The pieces are not aligned and there is some slop. I even tried soaking the biscuits in water to tighten them up, but they were still too loose. The biscuits were measured with a micrometer (Dewalt size 20) and came out at 5/32. I'm using it with an Incra Router lift on a high-end router table. I'm going to order the White side bit next to try it out. br>br>The bit cuts beautifully and is the first Yonica Bit with which I have ever had a problem. The cutting blade is also 5/32, so I'm guessing the blades are misaligned and the slot is too wide; I'll update this review once I try the other bit.
You don't want to invest in a "unitasker," such as a biscuit jointer? After that, you add this router bit to your collection. This machine can make biscuit cuts as well as long spline cuts. br>It is very sharp and free of flaws. br>However, there is one minor detail that I believe would improve it: It's still possible that the shaft could be an inch or two longer. Yes, it worked well, but the collet opening on my handheld router was too small, so I had to fiddle with it to secure the bit when the router was on the router table. br>It works flawlessly in every case. br>Do you think it's a good idea? Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
This is not a slot cutter for biscuit joints. Any biscuit would be too big in this size. It's close to the right thickness for the 20 and I was able to use it for my project with a little tinkering, but the biscuits aren't a tight fit, and moving the board side to side at just the right length to get it close enough to work is required. br>br>Please note that this is a slot cutter, not a biscuit cutter. You won't be able to find biscuit-shaped slots that fit snugly. If I made biscuits on a regular basis, I'd use a real biscuit cutter instead.
Maybe it's just my computer, because other people seem to be able to do it. This results in a slightly oversized slot, and even when fully inserted, the biscuits wiggle. At first, I assumed it was due to the fact that my biscuits were too small. I became irritated and decided to purchase a Dewalt biscuit joiner. For the same standard size biscuits, Dewalt cuts it to perfection. I'm a big fan of Yonico's 1/2-inch router bits. This one, on the other hand. Other than biscuit joinery, I'm thinking of using it for something else.
The rotor bit appears to be of high quality. I used it to cut biscuit slots, and it worked well. For me, this is a brand-new ability. You never know what you're capable of until you put yourself out there and try. I would recommend this rotor bit because it is less expensive than similar items elsewhere.
When cutting oak, the tungsten carbide cutters broke off. I didn't realize it at the time, but the cutting had become "rougher" after the first one broke off. The second one then broke off and became lodged in the wood, causing sparks to fly. This appears to be a low-cost and potentially dangerous tool.
This is something I'm glad I bought. I attempted to use dowels as an extension for my table saw crosscut sled, but they only worked out okay. I cut off the dowels and then used this router bit on my Bosch router to make slots, and they turned out great, especially considering I had only recently purchased the router and had never used one before. For the slots, I bought Ryobi biscuits, which fit perfectly.
