anyone know how to form a uniclic profile on the cut end of

peices. Is there a router bit that would do the job????

Do you really need a profile? I've little experience with that type
of flooring but wouldn't a simple butt suffice? The planks at the
side should be plenty to keep it in place. Taper the crosscuts
slightly toward bottom and the show side should wind up as tight
as...well, you know

If you gotta have a profile, how about T & G?
Looking at T&G now - but need to either glue or nail - instead of
floating a click. And I don't think you understand the setup. 12X20
room with boards running long way - with 9X14 room off the side,
joined by an 8 foot arch and no door - with the boards running the
long way as well - which is right angles to the big room. 8 feet of
board ends meeting the long edge of another board. Without some kind
of "profile" there is nothing to prevent the boards shifting up and
down at the end.

So the problem is where the cut ends of the big room meet the long sides in
the other room, right?

Mulling thoughts...

1. The T & G one

2. Half laps, long side over cut end side.

3. T molding threshold (best looking IMO)

Why would you have to glue or nail T & G? One is going to hold the other
down. Nothing wrong with doing so AFAIK, a bead of liquid nails would
stick'em down real good.
