Wienerdog:
Where do you live?
FractalWalk:
I once had a similar problem. I had to route out a slot on a beveled edge. I tried cutting a narrow groove with the table saw, then removing most of the spine of the T-molding, I glued it into place. The results weren't bad but not good enough for my tastes.
DeathDealer:
I cut the slot for T-molding off center in part of my cab, I simply re-routed in the center and applyed Hot Glue, put pressure until dry and it works just fine.

You can find hardware rental stores, but that is all something that will depend on where you live (home depot is not one of these stores).  However I dont think they would have a slot cutting bit to rent.  Now if you have the money to afford the bit (its like around 25$) and can access the router then that will make a huge difference.  As old school gamer pointed out the width on the blade that was probably used is far too wide for what your going to do.

Go to Harbor Freight and pick up their $19.99 Trim Router.  It's fast (22K RPM) and has enough power to cut a 1/16" slot.  It is not big enough to do 3/4" channels inside the cabinet frame, but to do a slot, it will work just fine.  It's always on sale for $20 and well worth it, in fact a lot easier to handle than a full size one.

$20 router and $16 MCS bit = a nice solution.

And yes, if you let the putty harden you definitely can reroute a clean channel.

Could you explain the differences between Harbor Freight's $19.99 trim router and $29.99 Plunge Router?  What is each good for?  Pro's/Con's?
