I would prefer to use a router table over using a dado set on my table saw to cut 3/4 x 3/8 dados for things like carcass sides, but whether I use my freud 3/4" straight cutting bit or a spiral cutting bit my router seems to really struggle cutting the grooves. I'm using a PC 890 spinning the bit at its highest speed and I'm trying to cut the groove in one pass. Shouldn't it be able to cut a slot like that in one pass in soft or hardwood? Is it a matter of having to make multiple passes or is there a specific kind of bit I should be using to make a cut like that?

I'm asking because if I can make the cuts without a lot of effort, I have an idea for making a dado sled for my router table for efficiently cutting dados and rabbets.
