You probably don't want a 3/32 slot cutter. If you are using 3/32 spinned T-molding, you actually want a 1/16th slot cutter so it snugs in there. Check out www.t-molding.com for more info.

Also, it's great to cut out patterns you already have. Here is a picture of me cutting with the flush trim bit. What I've done is create what I wanted to cut and used this bit to trace around and create an exact. This is very useful when cutting the sides of your cabinet - you cut 1 side and trace the other with this bit.

I am planning to use plexi, but i have the piece already cut out and ready to go. But I'm still very confused about this whole process. I have the CP piece cut out and the plexi piece cut out as well. I see how you're tracing, but I don't think I need to do that. That being said, I think I'm ordering the bit. I'd rather be prepared than be caught with my pants down. Has anyone else felt just a bit inadequate when it came to woodwork? :)

See, I was going by the Project Arcade book, which recommended the 3/32 slot cutter. I saw 1/16 solt cutters that I could of got today.

Here's a question: the CP on the cabinet I'm working on is square. What is the best way to work the t-molding to cover the whole CP? Should I round the edges?

Page 385 of the Project Arcade book discusses this and there is a picture on page 386.
