T-Mold Routing Bit Help
urbecrisch:
Just want to know what kind of routing bit to use for T-molding on my CP. The CP is 5/8" with 1/8" plexi. Thanks.

You want a 3 wing slot cutter that is 1/16".
I got mine from www.mlcswoodworking.com

This is exactly the bit I use as well. It cuts like butter baby! FYI, the thickness of your panel does not matter at all for cutting the slot (but it does matter for selecting the width of your t-molding).

When I make my cut for my CP t-mold, I need to remove my plexi, correct? I just need to make the cut over my CP MDF? Hope this makes sense.

I would remove the plexi just so you don't scratch it.
Make sure you do test cuts on scrap material before you do the real deal. Be careful (both hands on the router). Lastly, make sure the slot cutter is spinning the right way - many folks have cut the slot with the 3 wing slot cutter upside down.
