Try Woodworkers Warehouse. Lots of stores local to me, maybe to you too.
I bought my 1/16" slot cutter there and it seems to work well.
I think it was less than $15 total for the arbor and the blade, but they might have had a sale going when I bought it.

Where exactly are you located?
got any address or phone # of the place you got it from?
I might get the 1/8" but I can't afford to screw anything up..still not sure about Brax giving me advice.sounds fishy...(J/K).
hmmm..okay again just kidding ! ;)

I see...I am in the city so no borrowing.
It looks like I will get the 1/8" then some hot glue...
Brax,better be right about this.
Of course I will post the result in case anyone else having trouble locating the right size bit.
Infrasonic:
I paid over $40 dollars for (I think) a 3/32 bit and a separate arbor both Vipers, after I bought it I was able to find a lot of cheaper slot cutters on the web. Some were complete units that didn't require a separate arbor. My only regret is that my slot cutter will stop at about 1/2 inch deep instead of the optimal 3/8 inches deep.
A 1/8 inch bit may not retain the t-moulding properly. Also, I just noticed that the hardware store where I get my t-moulding switched from 13/16 to 3/4, prompting me to be more accurate aligning the router, so I would suggest testing out some 1 inch sections of t-moulding on scrap wood before slotting, so that you can fine tune your router.

Of course I'm right! I'm ME!! ::) (Obligatory Snaaake rolly eyes)
I can give you good advice because I'm a bigger person than you!! ;D ;D ;D
If you're worried, grab a piece of scrap 5/8 and a chunk of t-molding and try it out. The hot glue fills up the whole slot. I would bet it's actually stronger with the hot glue than a 1/16" slot with none. When you apply your glue don't add more than about a foot at a time. Do a foot, press down your T-molding, hold it for a few seconds (especially on curves) then lift it up to add another foot of glue.... (don't worry about getting right beside the last batch of glue. The tongue of the t-molding prevents you from getting right beside it. As long as you start your glue an inch away from the last batch, it'll be fine.
Once you're done, it'll look amazing! .......and be strong! Even for adolecents! (Boy this is fun teasing Snaake!) hehe
.......and when you're done all you have to say is I was right and you were wrong for doubting me! ha!
