I cut the slot for the t molding when I drill the holes for the top of my cp. At that point in the project, everything is still broken down. I just clamp my pieces to my work bench and run the router around it. Considering I feel handy at constructing these, I will admit that I had my bit on backwards also the first time I did this. Talk about feeling like a stinking idiot.(Quite literally!) |

I JUST ran out and now I have a cabinet with half t-molding and half nothing. :'( I could have sworn I bought 100 feet, but it must have been 50. --- End quote --- Wow, how big is your cab? I think I bought 20 feet and had 5 or 6 feet left over when I was finished. -S |

Hi all, I have to chime in on this one because I'm very close to getting started on my CAB and, in preparation, I've been practicing t-molding installation using a router, slot-cutting bit and some short pieces of t-molding. What I found to be the most difficult part was centering the groove in the edge of the wood. I have a fairly decent B&W plunge router but it's not a professional unit so the degree of accuracy I have over the bit depth isn't great. I found that getting it close was no problem but adjusting to get it perfectly centered was virtually impossible. I would always end up being a little too high or a little to low - very frustrating. If anyone has a trick for centering the slot-cutting bit I'd be glad to hear it. Cheers, Breaker. |
