T & G Router Bit

[HankyPanky]

Hi, I have some rather thinnish stock, +- 10mm, which I want to finish off with T & G jointing. Can I get a T & G bit set that would be suitable for the job ? If not, what other method could I use to achieve the same result.

10 mm is pretty thin. Trend do a dolls house set of router bits, maybe they have a tiny set in there?

Thanks, will Google that and see what pops up.

Have you considered a 4mm straight bit to cut the groove with the boards vertical and then adjusting the fence to cut rebates each side to form the tongue again with the boards vertical. Cutter height would be the same for each of the cuts.

Thanks skelph, I have been toying with that idea but was thinking along the lines of making two rebates and then a centre cut. Your idea sounds simpler. Thanks

Matchboard is about that thickness, so it's definitely do-able. I did some in thicker stock with a grooving bit and a rebate bit to form the tongue.
