FAQs
What material is this bit made from?
The Yonico Bullnose Beading Router Bit 13191q features premium C3 micro-grain tungsten carbide cutters for durability and a sharp cutting edge.
What is the radius of the bead this bit creates?
This specific bit, model 13191q, creates a 1/8" radius bullnose bead.
Can I use this bit with a 1/2" shank router?
No, this bit has a 1/4" shank and is designed for routers equipped with a 1/4" collet. You may need an adapter if your router only accepts 1/2" shanks.
What types of wood can this bit cut effectively?
This bit is effective on most hardwoods and softwoods, including pine, oak, maple, and plywood. For best results, use appropriate feed rates and depths of cut.
How do I maintain the sharpness of the carbide cutters?
Clean the bit after each use to remove wood debris. Sharpening carbide bits requires specialized equipment; typically, replacement is more common than resharpening for most users.
Is this bit suitable for creating joints?
No, this bit is specifically designed for creating decorative bullnose bead profiles on edges and is not intended for cutting joinery.
What is the benefit of Silver Induction Brazing?
Silver induction brazing creates a stronger, more durable bond between the carbide cutter and the bit body, enhancing overall strength and longevity under heavy use.
Troubleshooting
Router bit not cutting cleanly
Ensure the bit is sharp (check for dullness or damage), reduce the depth of cut per pass, and verify the router speed is appropriate for the material being cut. Check that the bit is spinning in the correct direction.
Excessive vibration during use
Make sure the bit is securely and fully seated in the collet. Check for any damage or imbalance on the bit itself. Ensure the router's motor brushes are in good condition.
Residue buildup on the bit
Clean the bit thoroughly after each use with a brush and, if necessary, a mild solvent. Avoid letting resin or wood dust accumulate, as it can affect cutting performance.
Bit does not fit collet
Verify that your router has a 1/4" collet installed. If your router only accepts 1/2" shank bits, you will need an adapter or a different bit with a 1/2" shank.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure your router is unplugged before installing the bit.

Tighten the collet securely with the appropriate wrench.

Care:
After each use, clean the bit to remove any wood residue. A soft brush or a cloth dampened with a mild solvent can be used.
Store the bit in its original packaging or a protective bit case to prevent damage and rust.
Avoid using abrasive cleaners, as they can dull the carbide cutting edges.
