Title: Where is the best place to buy a slot cutter for T-Molding (UK) ?

I have also posted this up in main forum, so if a moderator wants to delete this one feel free.  I don't seem to have an option to delete :)

OK I am working on a Bartop machine at the moment and really want to finish it off with some tmolding.  Unfortunately I seem to be struggling to find a slot cutter that isn't going to either cost me £50 or take 2 weeks to arrive.Anyone know of a relatively cheap place in the UK for the above.  As mentioned I don't want to have to spend a chunk of change on something that is probably only going to get used 3 times in my life :)

Cheers.

I bought mine from the Amazon US site but it only took a few days to arrive. This is the link.

I realise this is not the perfect answer but it was the right one for the job, cheaper than buying here by a long way and only took 3 days to arrive.

Out of interest (and to help out UK-ers), where did you get it from? I had to order mine from the US a couple of years ago...

I got mine from Groovy Game Gear, his price for the blade and the spindle was less than $20.  Not sure about shipping to the UK though.  Good luck!
