UK - Solution to T-Molding router bit frustration

[chucklepie]

Hello,
I've spent nigh on a week searching and searching trying to firstly find someone selling a 1/16th router bit to cut my 3/4 inch MDF (without the complication of having to source the bit, the arbor, the bearings and spacers separately).

The cheapest I've finally been able to find a bit is £27. Considering it's $14 in the USA (a quarter of the price) I worked out that 20 foot of 3/4 T-Molding from UK suppliers is £20, add the bit and it's £47 ($75).

So I gave up and visited T-Molding direct and including shipping you can get the router bit and the T-Molding (the bonus being they have a lot more varieties than what is imported) for £34 ($55). Given the price, I've opted for what I hope is not too garish - the black T-Molding with Chrome infill.

I guess the point of this message is for those in UK (and probably europe) failing to find the right T-Molding/Router bits, just get it shipped across. While it's not massively cheaper it's got you a joystick for free and you have a bigger choice.

Hope this helps.

They're out of stock of the slotted bit. However, it's about the same price as www.wealdentool.com (you have to buy the bearing, arbor and bit separate), about £22.

Given the t-molding I want is not in uk I'm paying delivery anyway so their bit works out a lot cheaper.
