Get 2 sticks. Taper them down from 3/4 to 0 at the lenght you want.
Glue them to a bit of MDF/PLY. Cut a slot in the board to
accomodate a router bit and guide bushing. Or cut 2 more sticks and
glue them to the other side as a router guide (parallel and as wide as
the router base - like railroad tracks that the router will slide back
and forth between). You now have a jig. Clamp the board to the
work piece and route the taper.

I would like to learn a technique for consistantly routing a tapered
groove in a 3/4" piece of wood. It needs to start (or end) at zero and
taper within a length of 2" to 3/4 in depth (basically ending with a
hole) The groove will be 1/2" wide.
Thanks!

At that angle, won't the base of the router be in the way of tipping it
at such a sharp angle??
