We installed Hardwood floors by glue down and the transition space to the bathroom tile is less than an inch. There is not enough room between the floors for traditional T-molding. We forgot to leave enough space for that. Any suggestions? Is there anything like really skinny t-molding?

Cut the bottom of the T off and glue the rest to the tile.

I usually set the blade at the height of the t-moulding leg, and run the moulding through flat,( as opposed to on edge). Then, keep moving the fence over a hair till the legs gone.

To avoid the problem of hunks of wood getting caught in the blade slot, (on other type cuts).......I run rows of masking tape accross the width of the tablesaw, then bring the blade up through the tape, resulting in a "slot" that's net fit to the blade.

You could also cut a space with a fein multimaster or a similar multi tool.
