| How far does T-molding stick out? |
| (1/2) > >> |
| Havok:
Been doing some searching, and I came across one site that lists the "height" of the t-molding sticks out 3/8". This seems a bit much, can anyone confirm this? The reason I ask is that I am making swappable panels and would like to put t-molding around the edge for durability. This raises the issue of how much should I cut the panel down to compensate for the t-molding, as the end-to-end length cannot exceed 28 1/2" - I can't have any overhang on the length, but I'm ok on the width. I'm still waiting for the t-molding and slot cutter to come in, but wanted to start on the panel. Thanks for any help! |

I think the 3/8" your talking about is the tongue depth. I think the 19/64" is the measurement you're looking for. Ya know.. never mind... I'm not thinking right tonight. |

Just checked. 1/16th". Steve |

Sweet! That was what I was looking for. That's the diagram I came across, and I remembered the 3/8" part. Now 1/16" sounds much better. Strange they left that one measurement out, you'd think people would want to know that one... Thanks guys! Let the MDF sawdust fly - off to the garage! |
