Is that what you're referring to? If so, it's not that tricky to cut a dado. Set the blade depth to the depth of your dado, make two cuts to define the width of the slot, then a few more in between. Depending on how many cuts you make, you can remove all the material in the slot or leave several "fins" of debris to remove with a chisel. | |
