The arbours are availiable in two shank sizes, 1/4" and 1/2".
T-moulding sell the A200B arbour which is for use with a router with a 1/4" collet.
If you want a Whiteside arbour with a 1/2" shank you need the A210B or A220B. The difference between them is the overall length. The A210B is 2 3/8" long whereas the A220B is 4" long. The A210B 2 3/8" version will be more than adequate for everything you want to build cab wise.
The slot cutters have a 5/16" bore so you can use the cutter if you already have a 1/2" arbour with a suitable spigot.

What I'm asking is: I'll have to rent a router. I don't have one. Depending on what the rented router shank size is, 1/4" or 1/2", I was wondering if the 7/64" slot cutter is universal on both 1/4" or 1/2" shanks.
I'll have to find out what size shank the rented router is and go from there. I just checked and it looks like they have a 1/2" collet on the router.
Thanks.
Franco B:
The 7/64" cutter its self is universal as it will fit on all of whitesides 1/4" and 1/2" arbours.
However, the A200B arbour that t-moulding sell will not fit a 1/2" router as it has a 1/4" shaft.
If you wanted to use a whiteside 7/64" cutter with a 1/2" router that only has a 1/2" collet you would need to buy the whiteside A210B arbour from somewhere else.
Check with the place that you are renting the router from. Most 1/2" routers will come with 1/2" and a 1/4" collet.

Thanks. This will help a lot.

Maybe this thread should be removed or deleted or something since the original poster had a bad experience with the product due only to his own mistake of installing the bit backwards...
SammyWI:
Actually, I think this thread can help others who may run into the same issue. It's pretty easy to install the cutter backwards, especially for folks that don't have a lot of experience in woodworking.
An update to the OP and title would be helpful, though. Right now the fix is somewhat buried in the thread.
Edit: spelin.
