You usually need a 5/16" slot cutter, but check with the supplier of your T-molding to be sure.

The blade you saw is actually only half of the slot cutter. The other piece is an arbor, which acts as a shaft onto which you bolt the actual slot cutting bit. Then you insert the whole assembly into the router's collet like any other bit.

It is a 5/16 arbor, but it is only 1/16 thick, which is what 3/4" t-molding calls for.

Here is what I use, the bearing isn't totally necessarry, but I wanted uniform depth.

You'll want the bearing -- either that or you'll have to use some sort of an edge guide, which can be tough on curved edges.
