Is this the one you guys are talking about? The three wing slot cutter?

That's the one I bought!

I bought that one too.  It worked like a charm, and as Peale said before...it cuts through like butter!

MonitorGuru:

I used a 5/64's I borrowed from a friend who bought it online and it was perfect size.

(1/64'ths bigger than 1/16", 1/64'ths smaller than 3/32).  Worked great in oak laminated MDF and melamine laminated particleboard.  Didnt try plywood.

Too narrow and you are likely to split the MDF pounding in the molding since MDF splits very easily.

I'd go 5/64ths if at all possible.

Alternately, you cold use the 1/16 and then route it from one side, then flip over and do it from the other side. The chance of you getting it "exactly" in the center on the first route is very small so doing it from the other side (only works if you havn't built the cab yet, just the raw piece) you would end up making it a tad wider.  Or simply adjust the plunge by 1/64th of an inch and reroute from the outside.
