Track Installed, Presses Mounted

Cool setup. I'm not a wood worker. What type of router bit did you use to cut the groove for the T-track?

I'm certainly not a woodworker either
I bought a used plunge router at a flea market for $20. Lowe's has router bits. the T-track is 3/4" wide so I bought an inexpensive 3/4" carbide router bit, $20 or less I think.
I also got a 1X2X6 poplar board (Lowe's) and two C-clamps (Harbor Freight). The board I used as a straight edge guide.

I'm glad I got the carbide bit because I ran into three screws hidden in the bench top! I finished the two cuts but I really dulled the bit.
I made my two cuts at the full 1/2" depth. My only recommendation is once you have tighten the bit in the router as tight as you can - get a bigger wrench and tighten it up another quarter turn. About 18" into my first cut my router bit loosened up and damn near went thru the bench top. I'm handy but, not a woodworker.
