Hi Harry
You may want to check out the SET of slot cutters below and it's real hard to break one unlike the standard 1/8" straight router bit...
Plus you can just move the stock flat on the top of the router table, no need to hold in up in the Ver. and you don't need to used a tall fence.
I use them all the time to split boxes in to two parts.. top and bottom, quick and easy and safe.

In the photo the material is 1 3/8" with a 5/32" groove. An 1/8" cutter is much cheaper than a slot cutter. Normally in a correct size groove there is no need for glue or pins. |
