I purchased this slot cutter from t-molding.com when I purchased my orange t-molding. Overall I was very impressed with the t-molding itself, but not impressed by the slot cutter. I got the cutter lined up properly using scrap pieces of MDF and noticed immediately that it was burning the wood. Even when multiple light passes were used the slot cutter burned every time which leads me to believe it was not made to be used with MDF.
After we had finished the work my garage was almost completely filled with the putrid smelling smoke created by the burning MDF. Here is a picture of the bit after completion :
You may or may not be able to see it, but it actually began to crack! Had we used this much longer it very well may have broke in use which could have ended up very poorly. We went as slow as possible when using the slot cutter to try to avoid the burning, but nothing helped.
In the end the cutter served its purpose although at this point it is scrap and I won't be able to use it on any future projects which is a bit disappointing. I am very happy with the service I have received from t-molding.com and will certainly return there for any future t-molding purchases as it was quick and the molding itself is very good quality. However, I will look elsewhere when purchasing another slot cutter.
Hope this helps,

P.S. for reference the slot cutter was a Whiteside Slotting Cutter 1/16" Part# 6700A 3 wing w/ a 1-7/8" cutting diameter.
