I have a few questions about t-moulding. I am wondering what is the best size t-moulding to use for 12mm MDF (approx 0.47inch) and for 16mm MDF (approx 0.62 inch). Is it 5/8 inch for 12mm and 3/4 inch for 16mm??? I have done some t-moulding research and have only found these sizes. Can I use t-moulding suitable for 16mm and trim it down for the 12mm???. My problem is I am planning to build a 12mm minicab/desktop with a 16mm control panel. I can only buy t-moulding by the 25ft length in the US and buying 2 different sizes and shipping them to Oz may be a bit excessive (of course I may use them in future projects ;D) So I am hoping that I can get away with one size... but if that won't work or if it is difficult to trim I may need to reconsider. Does anyone know where I can get a slot router bit in Australia suitable for 16mm/or 12mm. I may need to get the bit from the US to match the t-moulding especially if I buy it from the US. I have seen t-molding form Ozstick but they only have one type :( and I am looking for something different to this) Thanks for your help.... :D |

use 1/2" for 12mm and 5/8" for 16mm |

You can get the right slot cutting bit from www.apworkshop.com.au who are in ACT somewhere can't remember what size it was, but it was something like 1.6mm I think? I bought one, and it worked great. |

Depending on where you are in Oz and what colour t-molding you are after, we could share an order. I'm in Adelaide and I am going to order red t-molding for my desktop cab (yes, another person designing one at present). If you get 18mm t-molding, you could just (carefully) cut the excess off with a knife. |

Thanks for the offer captainpotato, however i am interested in either white or black t-moulding. I am also in NSW, so a distance from SA. Good luck with your project.Hope to see some pics of your cab... Oh well i guess whatever t-moulding i use will just have to be used in another future project ;D |
