Title: Installing T-molding How?
Post by: D00kie on October 15, 2002, 04:44:52 pm
I was wondering were did you get your Tmolding and how did you gut the groove to put the molding into.  I am thinking a router but have yet to find a bit that cuts a slot on the edges of the wood.  Please help!

1) www.t-molding.com
2) Router with correct width bit  -or- I think some have used biscut hole cutters (how you make the holes in shelving units that join with other parts with an oval shaped disc called a biscuit)

Tmolding.com sells the correct router bit.  I used it on my cabinet and it worked great.  (It's expensive for a router bit though, $35).

You want the 3-wing 1/16" slotting cutter bit from coastal tool:

53200  3-Wing 1/16"     $11.00

Also, if it's a hand held router.. they have these mountable router guides that you'll want to get.. it'll keep the router at a uniform distance from the wood the whole time.
