| Craig:
Hi, can someone possibly advise me what Dremel parts and part numbers I need to successfully route the slot so I can put tmolding in? So far I have a Dremel and I know that I need a 1/16 bit is this available for the Dremel? Oh and I checked out tmolding.com and found their prices to be excellent. It seems cheap enough to make an arcade cabinet look like a million bucks. :o Thanks. |

It's almost impossible to make a T-molding groove with a Dremel. Unlike a router, there is no depth setting on them. That means that you would have to freehand right down the middle of the entire piece, to get the T-molding to fit properly. Unless you have alot steadier hand than anyone I've ever met, you're going to end up with a wavy groove, which will make the T-molding stick out to one side or the other in places. I would also question if the motor has enough torque to cut that much wood without burning itself out. |

Thanks. I will buy a router then I guess. Where can I buy the bit from? |
| ROMbler:
I used the #330 Router Attachment and the #542 Cutting/Shaping Wheel. |

Hey ROMbler, so the cutting wheel was wide enough for the t-mold? I am considering the same method and I had planned on doing it exactly as you specified. However, I wasn't sure if the t-mold would fit in the groove. I'm waiting for my t-mold in the mail to test. Sounds like it will work which saves me about $100. Thanks |
