Default Cross Cutting Dado's On The Router Table...

Question for you guys that do a lot of this. I have some boxes that I want to do in the future that will have dado's in them. These are parts that will accept dividers for inside the jewelry box or what ever. If you have say 2 inch wide by 8 inch long piece let's say and you want a dado every 1 1/2 inches across it's length what's the easiest and safest way to do this on the table. My table which is an oak park table top does not have a miter slot. Now I know that I can keep adjusting the fence back by an 1 1/2 inches but remember it's only 2 inch wide stock and that will be difficult to keep square to the fence the whole time it would seem. and will be trouble some when it reaches the fence/bit hole. Any thoughts?
