So I'm looking @ the bits here:
http://www.mlcswoodworking.com/shopsite_sc/store/html/smarthtml/pages/bt_slot.html (http://www.mlcswoodworking.com/shopsite_sc/store/html/smarthtml/pages/bt_slot.html)
$16 for the complete assembly seems very reasonable, unless there's somewhere better?
-
I'm not sure about the price, but I got mine from MLCS. It was shipped quickly and arrived packaged fairly well. The bit was a little hard to assemble (my own fault I think), but otherwise it was a pleasure to deal with them.
It arrived in PA in about 3 days.
-
I really couldn't beat $16.00 shipped FREE (didn't see that before) so I went with it. I'll report back when I get it my experiences with the bit.
-
I also ordered one of these assemblies about two weeks ago. As with others here, shipping was free and packaging/shipping time was great.
I haven't gotten to the part of my jukebox assembly that requires the use of it, but when I do, I'll post as well.
-
Actually, now that you mention it, I had some trouble putting it together too. It didn't matter, (since it works fine anyway) but I ended up assembling it a bit different from what the picture showed.
-
I still haven't figured out how to assemble mine. What is the plastic spacer thing for?
-
I haven't started that adventure yet. But I look forward to the challenge. ;)

Hey Peale, ;)
I have that same bit that you're asking about. Also, a while back , I too had a difficult time putting it together. I have this link from when I asked about mine.

It was another member ( Tilzs ) who helped me with assembly, so I hope the link helps you with yours.

On the same topic, how deep does the cutter need to go to ensure the T-Molding is flush with the edge? Looking at the website in the link from the post at the top of this thread, I'm not sure whether #5341 or #7641 is what I'd need to buy. Actually, I'm not even sure what the difference in size means for the two of them...
Hurray for woodworking newbies!
Note: Edited the above to not reflect a need to "hurry for woodworking newbies" :) Typos in all the wrong places. bleh.

Cutting the slot 3/8" deep should suffice.

That's the size of the arbor. More than likely you need the 1/4" one, #5341.

Thanks guys. I'll order that puppy tonight.
Heh. Just a note, read my past post. Re-edited for the lame typo. :)
Hurry.. err HurrAy!
