I originally posted in Woodwork but had no biters so will try in main where more foot traffic patrols :)

I am working on a Bartop machine at the moment and really want to finish it off with some tmolding.  Unfortunately I seem to be struggling to find a slot cutter that isn't going to either cost me £50 or take 2 weeks to arrive.  :cry: Anyone know of a relatively cheap place in the UK for the above.  As mentioned I don't want to have to spend a chunk of change on something that is probably only going to get used 3 times in my life   (Its either that or I make a weecade and we all know how PBJ feels about weecades  :angry:

Cheers.

I'm afraid I can only confirm that I've had trouble too in the Uk. How much would you guys in the us expect to pay?

I do not know what size slot t-molding needs as I've never used it but would this or one of the others from that site be of help?

1/16" is the size you need.

Thanks for looking guys.  I went back and practiced a bit more google-fu  and I managed to find somewhere that does them and they are also only about £20.

These guys seem to have a nice selection of bits :)
