Pro-Tip

To ensure the most accurate fit for T-moldings, always verify the slot height with a scrap piece of your project material before beginning your final pass. Because this is a 3-wing cutter, it is highly efficient at chip removal; however, for the cleanest possible results in dense hardwoods, make your cut in a single, continuous motion to prevent "witness marks" where the cutter might pause. Always ensure the arbor nut is fully tightened and use a guide bearing to maintain a consistent depth throughout the entire length of the slot.
