If you go with reversible, it can be a pain to get the exact tenon thickness once you've done the groove, or vice-versa. Unless you like to re-arrange bits configuration everytime you use the thing, go with it, but I strongly suggest a set of two. There again, choose one that is not one piece, so if you have it sharpenned, you will be able to ajust the bit with shims. And with a bit that you can break down, you can use parts to do only grooves.
Kindly excuse my somewhat sometime weird english, I'm a French Canadian in Sherbrooke, PQ, and it's -20 deg celcius. (for those of you that are not familiar with celcius, water freeze at 0....)
Eh! Bob, thanks for info. Used travel to upper B.C. and it get darn cold in the old Gaarage Eh.
