I'm trying to cut a 1/8" groove for a spline on the ends of a cutting board to give extra strength for holding on an end piece. While making the practice and adjustment cuts i noticed that the groove did not have a square bottom.....it had tiny chamfers at the corners. I have two good blades and other misc. blades. They are Freud Glue Line Rip, model LM74R010, 30 tooth with 12° hook and a toothe design that says, "TCG". The other Freud blade is the LU82M010. It says that it has the same tooth design.
It looks like the teeth alternate between the squared off teeth and the chamfered teeth. Shouldn't the square teeth give me the cut in the corners of the groove? What other type of blade/tooth design do I need to cut a square groove?
As always, thanks to all of you who help and give advice to those of us who are woodworkingly challenged.
