1/16" vs. 5/64 slot cutter
somunny:
Thanks for the feedback, guys!
I'm really impressed with the way you treat noobs with inane questions. ;D

I didn't use any glue to hold it in, but had to hammer it in place. It's held in very firmly and takes a lot of effort to pull it out, and when it does come out it takes a little MDF with it.
5/64" would be a tiny bit easier to install, and also to remove I would guess.

Same here .. I use plywood and have to use a rubber mallet to install it and when removing it always takes some material with it (no glue required that's for sure ... hehe).

I could have installed mine by hand but a rubber mallet was much easier (and better looking). It holds firmly in place but not so firm that it takes out MDF when removing. IMO, 5/64" is the "right" size.

I have some trouble from time to time doing the t-molding slot. I guess I don't hold it straight and get tooooo excited cutting the groove. But I'd recommend the smaller one.
I don't use glue. I used a hammer. But the groove got to big and it comes loose sometimes.
