What kind of machine are you using?
I would like to use it with my 1/2 inch porter cable router. I have used in the past, if you can believe it, A straight router bit set at 45 degrees. It actually works very well but is not quick to set up, you have to get it perfect and it can take a few minutes.Murray Tucker said:

The router (or milling machine) set at 45 degrees is not a bad way to go as long as you don't have to change your setup for other opperations. I don't have that luxury.
Chris Hightower had some 90 degree router bits at VF and they looked nice. I'd give him a try.

I have one i got from him. brand new unused, fixing to do some ebony points with it.
I believe he has 2 types, or atleast he use to. The one I have cuts off the side, and has two cutters on it. Looks really good, saw one just like it being used on a website. I believe It was in a link that mark left in one of the recents cnc threads. looks like It cuts nice V grooves from the pictures on that site. Greg

Your only limitation is the one side of the cutter is about .350" which gives you a max of .650 slot width. 95% of the time this is just fine and they are cheap and available.

Yes it cuts a perfect 90, I have been using these for a while now.hadjcues said:
I have a bit that has two 90 degree wings with 1/2" shank and 3/4" cutter height for $50. It is not on my site as most want to use 1/4" shank.macguy said:

What speed (rpm) does a tool like this require? Fast like a router, or slower like a mill?Arnot Wadsworth said:

I use mine in a Laminate Router. If I were to use it in a milling machine I would get one with a larger shaft size.

Mr.Wadsworth, would that cutter be good for cutting grooves on a square blank for full splice cues? If I read it right the cutter width is more than 1.0" , would the grooves be crossing over (for a 4 pointer) when used on a turned forearm half spliced?
I asked coz using a 3/4 width cutter already leaves a small space between the points base...
Thanks,

It should be fine for cutting the grooves on any forearm if you don't try to to it all on one pass.
Arnie, did you get that one made or that's off the shelf?
Thnx.
