This bit is made with a 1/2" shank and would be too big for a 1/4" shank. The 13166q (1/2" radius) is our largest radius in 1/4" shank.
I can't speak for Freud router bits, but many customers have told us that Yonico bits are just as good as Freud bits.
In an ideal world, you'd want to be able to run these much faster than a shaper. They can be used in a shaper, but the feed rate will need to be adjusted. However, cutting at the recommended speeds, which a shaper will not be able to do, is more efficient.
Simply replace the bearing with a 1/2" one. You can also buy a 1/2" bearing version of the same bit. 13162q is the number for that Yonico item.

You get what you pay for, but let me expand on that. I've used a variety of router bits of varying quality over the last three decades as a woodworker. The Yonico bit is a mid-range to low-end bit that will get the job done if you use it carefully and patiently. They aren't top-of-the-line bits that will leave a much smoother edge, but you'll have to pay at least twice as much for those. I needed the bit to round over the corners of a white ash blanket chest, and I knew I'd have to do some hand sanding anyway, so the Yonico came in handy. Anyone who has worked with white ash knows how easily it chips when put through the paces of a router unless they are patient and know when to 'work in reverse. ' I avoided chipping by making several shallow cuts and ended up with a good-enough edge that only required a little sanding. I would have spent the money on a much better bit and skipped the Yonico if the design was more complicated than a round over bit. I had no qualms about using this bit because it was a simple round over bit, knowing that I would have to do some touch-up sanding to finish the job.
Maybe I'm not using the router correctly—I've only recently started using one—but it appears that the bearing and blades on the bit I'm using aren't aligned. This subtracts about 1/32" from the bearing side of what you're routing. Check out the images. The right hand side of the blade is not vertically aligned with the bearing, as can be seen. I suppose I could sand that ridge down, but I was hoping for a smoother finish, especially given the positive feedback. My return period ended on May 27th, unfortunately.

I bought this router bit because it was the only one in a 5/16" radius that I could find. Because the quality appeared to be good, I installed it in my Bosch router table.

I've been using this bit for a few months now, and it's fantastic. It's something I use on a regular basis. I have a battery-powered router, which works well, but I wish I had a plug-in router.
