Pro-Tip

When setting up for T-molding, always perform a test cut on a scrap piece of your project material to ensure the slot height is perfect. Since this 3-wing cutter clears chips very efficiently, you’ll get the best results by maintaining a steady, continuous feed rate to avoid “witness marks” or burning in dense hardwoods. For maximum safety and accuracy, always use a guide bearing to maintain a consistent depth of cut across the entire edge of your workpiece.
