| Routing for t molding |
| << < (2/5) > >> |
| Craig:
I found a site online which has bits. About $50 for a bit. Isn't this expensive? Anyway I might not get change out of $150 after I get the router as well. |

Try MLCS for all your router needs - I've ordered from them a few times and they have been EXCELLENT. Great customer service and the items always arrived quickly... plus the prices are good. The bit I used to cut my t-molding groove was $16.00 here: http://www.mlcswoodworking.com/shopsite_sc/store/html/smarthtml/pages/bt_slot.html#Anchor%20slotct3w |

Thanks for that. I was excited to see that I could get one for $16 but then I added the postage which is $19 to Australia and pressed X on the browser. I mean get real! Almost 20 bucks to send a small bit of metal? I wouldn't go to the effort of ordering from there and be better off getting one locally for a couple of bucks more. The order from USA would be $45+ AUD after conversion.. It really annoys me when you can get something so damn cheap over there but when you add the shipping cost, it scares me off. If the postage cost was reasonable with all companies then I would be buying a lot from the USA. |

If I have learned anything from tv and movies, the shipping is probably so expensive because the mailmen are afraid of... a) getting eaten by a dingo b) getting punched out by a kangaroo in boxing gloves or c) getting mugged by Crocodile Dundee and his giant knife. Just kidding. Shipping charges are a profit center for a lot of companies. It sucks. |

Yeah the same with eBay too. |
