Router bit suggestion?
 

Hello all,
Trying to locate a cutter that will edge/slot in a single pass. I have
found several T&G bits where the grooving cutter will actually mill the
entire edge (slot and the two remaining shoulders as well) however they
have a very shallow slot.
I am trying to mill a finished edge and as deep a slot possible on sawn
material 3/4" thick. My hopes were to avoid a second operation after
sawing (edge, then slot).
My hope was to track down a mandrel, two small straight cutters, and a
slotting cutter (all 1/4" thick) which I could stack to produce the
cutter I need. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Mark

I think that's "too much candy for a nickle"...
I doubt you can find that much for a 3/4" surface.

These folks sell more than anybody and here are
their offering:

I have looked at routerbits.com and the only mandrel cutters they
offer are slotting bits which allow for bearings. These dont fit the
bill. But thanks for the suggestion. Got any others?

Not sure I follow the "nickle" part, price isnt really the issue but I
was hoping for a best case scenario of a non custom bit so I could have
multiples and sharpening standby's wouldnt be a problem.

Freud is by far the best option out there however they dont offer
different diameter straight cutters which could be coupled with a large
diameter slotter (and an appropriate mandrel and shims). This would be a
great option with all the routers out now capable of swinging large
diameter cutters (panel raising).

I would venture to guess a component based, stackable bit system,
somewhat like shaper cutters, is on the drawing table somewhere.

Thanks for the input,
Mark
