   I am not familiar with the Grizzly knifes but I’ve been a hardwood flooring contractor for about 20 years; Trust me you need to mill it with a flooring profile. I’ve tried to install wood milled with a T&G knife its almost next to imposable. Most floor men glue and nail wide plank flooring, so you need the gap at the bottom for glue. Also theirs is a slight angle on top and a lose fitting T&G. I would get a knife that is made to NOFMA (NATIONAL OAK FLOORING MANUFACTURING ASSOCIATION) standards.

   Jeff,

   Thanks for the experienced input. Grizzly sells a 3 winged flooring specific cutter with a 3/4" bore. It has the relief on bottom and a rounded T&G. I do not see the angle on the top. With the angle on the top do you mean a very small chamfer which would give a very small "V" in the joint ?

   Where can one buy NOFMA cutters ?

   Thanks,

   Imran

   Hi Imran

    

   >The angle is very slight; it’s on top of the tung. Not sure about NOFMA I never made my own flooring. I don’t thank its that important. looks like the Grizzly’s are for flooring and are ok. I can’t see good enough at there web site. If you want to see what I’m talking about go to Home Depot they have ¾”x 2 ¼” red oak.
