Joe, for making the v-groove T&G boards, rather than using a router and long extension cord, I've got one of these sitting in my shop...
It's a Baker M412 four sided moulder. The top and bottom cutterheads actually can run both planing blades and moulding cutters at the same time, so I can take rough cut lumber and make finished v-groove T&G in a single pass.
It beats having to joint/plane, and use a SRL on each side of the board, and then the router!
I've been slowly acquiring the equipment necessary to form a custom, wide plank flooring business. All that I need to complete now is a building to house it in. In the interim, I'll use one of my barns to get it started.
