bdsjake:
are you using a plunge router or fixed base?  I was using a rotary tool (about 1/2 of a router) with plunger attachment, the plastice wouldn't hold properly, and so wouldn't keep the correct calibration.  I bought a "real" router, with a plunge base that can be removed, and it worked great the first time.
AlanS17:
I've noticed that when you apply downward pressure, your plunge depth can shift. I had a plunge router that couldn't hold it's proper depth so I traded it in for a fixed router and never had anymore problems.
Donger:
Anyone have a (reliable) website where I can buy the slot cutting bit?  I've been to like 5 Home Depots and 1 Lowes and this piece is impossible to find.

Amazon also sells a high quality Freud slot cutter:
Freud 58-100 1/16" 4-Wing Slot Cutter for 5/16 Router Arbor
You will need to have an arbor with this bit.  Freud router and forstner bits are expensive, but work great.
