Laminate trimmer for t-molding slot cutting?
DrewKaree:
You're missing the point. He is trying to justify buying another tool, and a cordless one at that ;D
MikeDeuce:
Hahah thanks for understanding, and the tips. I hadn't thought to do a couple passes, but that serves as a good backup plan.
Plus, if it's that easy for a proper router, I can only hope that a laminate trimmer won't mind either. And I'll post results on this thread either way so at least someone can respond with "told you so".
Time to go shopping ;D
Thanks all.

I do most of my routing with a laminate trimmer. The slot cutter will work just dandy. Just make sure the blade is on the right way.
MikeDeuce:
Yep, just picked it up tonight for $59... uses the same 19.2v batts as my drills, circular trim saw, handvac and flashlight so I saved some cash there. I thought it might have two strikes going into this, being cordless and being a laminate trimmer, but turns out my worries were unfounded. This thing, for all my particular intents, is a little bad-arse. The manual even states that grooves, shaping edges, chamfering, rabbeting, dadoing and dovetailing are all acceptable in light duty.
I (at 9:30pm) couldn't resist
