Wilsonart spline bit


I am just going nuts............ (well, more than usual) .......... I'm looking high and low and can't for the life of me find my Wisonart router bit for making grooves to fit their splines.
I recall paying a fortune for it a few years back.

Is it really just a readily available or a standard type of bit that other bit manufacturers make
............ or a Wilsonart exclusive?

I need one towards the end of the week and need some answers if any of you have em.

As soon as I post this request, I'm probably gonna find the old one in my jacket pocket............. in which I have looked only twice.

But at the moment, I'm needing some help because I don't know the thickness or depth of the Wilsonart bit.

I have one as well, as well as some old spline that I saved just for an instance like this. the spline is 6mm x 2mm.

Because if you get rid of them, then you can't loan them out to someone in need....That was easy...
