Router bit size for T-molding.

<< < (4/6) > >>

No, I was cutting into the wood, maybe it was a bad bit, I borrowed another bit that was an 1/8 inch bit and it worked fine with no problems.

I was just going to say that.  An incorrectly placed bit would certainly do that.

How can you put it on wrong?  It's a disc blade on a shaft isn't it?  It will only go in the router one way.  I haven't seen one of these bits IRL, so if they don't work like this, let me know so I don't make a mistake when I start my project.

You have to put the whole thing together from the cutter, bearing and stuff. You could put the slot cutter on upside down. It's pretty obvious in which way it should go on though. You always have to work against the turn direction of the bit.

Apollo:
Exactly, it's not one solid piece of equipment. Blade, bearing and arbour are all seperate. Its very easy to put the blade on backwards ( I know from experience ).
