Where to get 1/16" slot cutter router bit????

Pages: << < (2/3) > >>

I ordered mine through MLCS. Quality is pretty good, price is king with them.  I can also say that the shipping time was excellent. Two days from order to door. I think they are in Ohio (I'm in CT).  I also had a goof up on my order, they called me, and I asked a few questions - all answered promptly.  Great company.

I tried ordering the bit first from  HP and Lowes, both failed horribly.  Of course most of the tool folks seem to be a tad too busy to take orders for me (on tools) when I go there.

The link in the post before yours has them for $16 including for the whole thing and $12 for just the blade part.

thanks!

As I remember I paid about $40 for a 1/2" shank arbor and both blades. MLCS would be $38 for the same deal, seems pretty comparable to me. I didn't have the ordering issues Derek had, but then I deal with them a lot and know who to talk to at my store. I ordered on monday and had it by the following friday. YMMV. ;)

I went ahead and ordered the 1/16" set from MLCS. Seems like the best price and free shipping.

Thanks to everyone for the info!

I assume you ordered part #5341 for $16 with free shipping.

From the knowledgable crowd, is this all that is needed to cut the T-molding slots or are there other pieces required as well.

A couple posts back, the guy mentioned $36 was needed.

The $16 deal should be all you need if your T-molding fits a 1/16" slot.  Mine ended up needing a 5/32" slot, so ordering the other size cutter blade ended up saving me time and extra shipping charges.  In a pinch you could offset a the cutter a little, make a pass, then offset it the other way to end up with a 5/32" slot if you needed it.

I did screw up the math, MCLS sells the cutters for $16 with an arbor and $12 without. Buying both sizes through them would be $28, not $38.
