Just got my T-MOLDING from the US. Sussing out options for cutting the slot. My folks have a dremel, nobody I know has a router. Just wondering if anyone has used a dremel to cut their T-Molding slots, and how much success did you have ? I did do a search through the archives here, found a fair few bits and bobs about dremels, but nothing solid on slot cutting. Cheers 8) |

I have used it to cut a slot on the inside of my cabinet to allow the lexan or plexiglass to slide into the cabinet. It turned out awesome. I even used the router to cut the lexan itself, that turned out better than I expected. I will post pictures tomorrow or the next day for you dude. I hoped I helped -Austin |

You be pleased to find out that Dremel makes a routing attatchment. I think it's about $25. That way you can aim to precise depths. Never used it so I wouldn't know, but sounds like a better solution than "freestyling" it or buying an $80 router. You could also do what I did. I went to Sears and bought a Craftsman All-In-One Cutting Tool. It's like a Super Dremel made specifically cutting. It insludes all the attchments and comes in a large case. It also includes a good routing attatchment. I know it's not free, but it could solve multiple issues with one power tool. |

If you look at the "Savoia Arcade" project on the examples page, he used a dremel to cut the slot for his t-molding. I am going to OSH tomorrow to see if I can find the cutting wheel he used. If I find it I will let you know how it works--if I can't find it I am buying a router. |

I did..it took forever to finish but whatever(didnt wanna buy router). http://www.geocities.com/brian_coney/4PlayerPanel.html Forgot where mrsalty(spelling?) page is.I recall him coming out with the idea of using dremel. It takes forever for a cabinet so AVOID at any cost unless no choice. I would never use dremel for t-molding again...EVER ! get a router..I bought one for $60 from home depot(good deal :)). |
