Anybody wanna sell me their used slotting bit?
« on: July 05, 2003, 12:37:21 pm »
Hi yall. I live in south Texas. We've got all the major ahrdware storses, but I can't seem to find that slotting bit for t-molding anywhere!

Is there anyone on this board that is done with theirs that doesn't mind getting rid of it???

What size of shank do you recommend? 1/4 or 1/2?

I'm thinking I'll need 1/2, but I've never done this before.

I imagine it depends on your router... I beleive I used a 1/4" shank.

IANAC (I am not a carpenter)...  i.e. I'm glad I made it through routing for my t-molding without a bloody gash.

I tried using fiberglass-reinforced cutting wheels on a piece of test wood. Now THOSE things are dangerous. sucker didn't fall apart. It just ripped off the base and flew all the way across the room! It didn't stop until it hit the wall with a *whack*! Now THAT would have been a bloody gash...

(Ok I've got ADD and I'm geting off topic. Let's try to get back on here.)

Thanks for the link. I'm borrowing my friend's router and she has a full set of bits (minus the lsotting bit). I'm thinking if she alreayd has a good arbor then I can just buy the cutter by itself. Gotta check on that. Thanks for the link!

Ok I got clever and checked out t-molding.com to see what 3 wing slot cutter assembly with... *drum roll please*

A 1/4" shank diameter! That corresponds to part #5341 at the website link you gave me.

(For those that had the same question as me.)

The shank only matters for the tool that you are using.  1/4" shank will be fine for most routers.  You should be worried about the width of the cut.  This should be small for t-molding...on t-molding.coms site it is called "cutter height" 1/16 of an inch.  You don't want to go much higher than that so the only one that you can us on MLCS's site is the 5/64"...it is probably the same bit as t-molding.coms bit.  If you are cutting into MDF you will probably have to use some glue around tight edges accompanied with V-shaped cuts in the insertion part of the molding.  Use tape to hold it in place until the glue is dry.  This will give you the finished look you desire.

You are correct, it is 5341.

Hope this helps.
