Routing for t molding
Craig:
Should I get a router bit with 2 or 4 flutes?
wintermute:
If you're talking about a router bit to cut a slot for T-molding, it shouldn't have flutes. I use a "3 wing slot cutter".
Normally straight cutter bits are the ones with flutes, for routing out larger areas.

I also used a 3-wing slot cutter with a Router. I found mine at Home Depot with their router bits. I spent about $33 for it. You have to buy 2 parts, the 1/4" shaft with bearing and the 3-wing blade.

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

It's the right width - i had to tap the molding in and it was a nice fit (3/4 inch width molding);D

Seems to be some really helpful & interesting posters today.
Could someone possibly tell me out of what's on this site what I need to get?
