T-Molding Installation Alternatives
DougHillman:
Anyone wishing to avoid the extra cost of buying the proper slot cutting bit size can do a decent job by slotting AND glueing.
I T-molded an old project (non-arcade cabinet) by using a readily available 1/8" slot cutter and then filling the groove with epoxy gel. Glued up a coupla feet at a time and let it set up a bit so that I could assure the edges were square before moving on to the next bit. Turned out fine. Hell of alot easier than cutting/grinding the spine off the entire thing.

how much t-molding is required for a pacman cocktail cab?
i see lengths of 25' t-molding (various colours) for sale on ebay - is that enough?

Velcroing T Molding? Dear GOD man! You can pick up the bit about 20 bucks at tooldepot. Home Depot sells a 2 HP Ryobi for under 100 bucks. I have it myself. Not pro quality but it gets the job done nicely.

rchadd - 25 feet is fine for a pac man.

Broke down and ordered the bit from a great shop I took a few woodworking courses in. I'll just rent an hour or so of shop time and be done with it.
Thanks for all the suggestions!
