Bought some t-molding to refurbish my Tempest cab. |

You might just try a regular old saw blade. It's slow, but you will be less likely to mess it up. If you have a lot of inward curves it wouldn't work though (can't get the saw blade in there). Also, I often cut my t-molding groves with a skill saw. It's not too hard if you already have a smaller grove cut. Of course I'm pretty good with a skill saw so your mileage may very. Honestly, I think your best bet will be to get a dremmel tool, just cut slowly. If you mess-up on a small section it's not a big deal. If you mess-up on a larger section use a glue gun to get the t-molding to stick. Disclaimer: The above methods are NOT used on DA arcades. We have a CNC router do all the hard work! |

Not a great suggestion, but if you have NO tools to do this with, you can also use a box cutter type knife and just slice a bit off around the whole cab. Will take a long time and won't be too neat - but onece you put the t-molding on it will cover up any imperfections. |

I would run some sandpaper through the groove, you shouldnt need more then a 1/16 more room. |

I would consider a winged slot cutter the ONLY option. |
