Slot cutter depth query
« on: May 16, 2012, 05:40:20 am »
I've just received my slot cutter router bit from Amazon, which I had to import as I can't find anything suitable in the UK. Here are the details:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002TUCRA/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00

I didn't appreciate how deep the slot will be (14mm or 9/16"). I think that the T-moulding spine will only be about half of that depth. Does this really matter, or am I heading for trouble for some reason? I'm asking before I take the plunge and open the box rendering it unsuitable to return.

Thanks.

It is fine.  You won't have any problems.  That is normal.

i used 9/16"  It'll allow for any remaining dust or splinters to just be pushed back into the groove.  Better too deep than too shallow :)

Yep, mine was 9/16" depth also, I think it's a pretty standard depth, worked great on my T-molding.
