Title: t-molding slot bit...
Post by: darkomen64 on October 13, 2008, 07:49:54 pm

I posted this in my project announcament thread but no one has posted anything (its been a few days)

Anyways i know everyone says use a 1/16 slot cutting bit... for the t-molding.. i havent been able to find one locally (checked true value who had a surprising amount of bits, lowes home depot ect..) anyways my boss looked though some of his bits and happens to have a 3/32 bit that he has used for t-molding and was curious how much of a impact that 1/32 would have on holding the t-molding in, i havent ordered the t-molding but right now i'm kinda waiting to cut my slot before i can assemble the cabinet.. and and figureing out how to get my tv intoo the cabinet (i have another post about it being about 1/16-3/32 to narrow for the TV to fit)

i used a 3/32" (thin kerf) saw blade to do a portion, it was a straight piece obviously, it holds fine.

i'm not sure it would hold around a curve. test it on a piece.

i actualy got the bit today and its not a 3/32.. its a 5/64 so i think it'll work just fine.. if it has any issues thats the hot melt glue is for right? =)
