Omg Inc R-5206-RB3W Tiger Claw Slot Cutter

Product Description

The OMG INC R-5206-RB3W is a slot cutter designed specifically to cut grooves into square edge decking boards. It produces a groove profile that matches the Tigerclaw TC-G hidden fastening clips, allowing deck installers to use a concealed fastening system without visible fasteners on the deck surface. The cutter is compatible with many handheld routing tools, making it a straightforward addition to a standard deck installation workflow. Each package contains 6 cutters, weighing 2.4 pounds total. Licensed contractors and professional deck installers use this tool to prepare boards quickly and consistently across an entire deck field.

This slot cutter is used in residential and light commercial deck construction where square edge decking is installed over standard framing joists. The routing operation is performed directly above each framing joist, removing a precise portion of the board edge so that the Tigerclaw TC-G clip seats flush and holds the board securely. It is suited for production-pace installs where consistent groove depth and profile across all boards is critical to clip engagement and overall deck stability.
