Anyone have/know of a source for 3/16" spline?

I am doing 5/8' bamboo with 3/16" tongue.

Thanks in advance,
Bill

Call the ones who sold you the flooring??

I often make my own. Table saw. On my table saw there is one side of the blade where the tabletop-insert goes close to the balde. Use that side so your wood isn't getting sucked in. Cut the 3/16 strips from 3/4 stock, then cut them to width. Safety says use a push-down stick and another (homemade)contraption to keep the material against the fence. I don't use either but thats no excuse!

I think one of those plastic doo-dads that replace the metal piece around the blade would be a must for work that fine. I have not found one to fit my saw, but I suppose I could make one. It is a cool idea, You screw the plastic plate down and then just turn on your saw and raise the blade till it punces throught the plastic. There is then no gap between the blade and the support.

I used to make splines all the time, but my homemades are never as easy to use as the real ones. The way I did it was to rip up a board and then stack the little rips and send them through in stacks of five. Less shatter that way.

Ken,

Sellers only had the 3/8" for 3/4" floor (which I bought).


Marco & Chuck,

Trim with table saw it is (with lots off jigging and stops to stabilize the cuts and keep my fingers intact).

Thanks again all,
Bill
