T-molding. The heart and soul of any arcade cabinet. Well, maybe that’s a bit of an exaggeration, but it plays an important…roll. Or role. What-have-you.
For those not in-the-know, T-molding is the plastic strip that hides the edges of your building material. It has a tongue that slides into the wood, so in cross-section T-molding looks, well, like the letter T.
Preparing your board for T-molding requires the use of a woodworking tool called a router. I don’t have one, nor do I know much about routers. I think they’re used to manage data networks or something.
In all seriousness, though, preparing your cabinet for t-molding requires the use of a specific router bit and settings. I don’t know enough about these things, so I’m hiring a carpenter.
