I use 1/16 for 3/4" tmolding but 3/32 would probably work as well.  I'm sure someone else will chime in with confirmation.

Is that the size that some people where having troubles keeping the tmolding to stay without gluing?

I think so, I don't see why you would need to go bigger than 1/16" because that seems to be perfect for my t-moulding.com order.

I would stick to the 1/16". If you are buying this because it is cheaper, I'd suggest taking a roll of doulbe sided tape (3/4" wide roll, and not the foam stuff just the thin stuff) and taping over the slot then pushing yout tee molding in, it will make a tighter fit plus it adds adhesive. just my $.02.

Good luck.

Stick with 1/16" slot cutter.  Why you ask?
To center the slot in the wood, make sure to flip the piece over and recut the groove.  This makes the groove perfectly centered.  Usually you are just slightly off on trying to center the cutter, so you end up with a groove slightly larger than 1/16" cutter.
