dado blade set vs. router

table saw the best option for making the straight line? How hard would it
be
with a hand held router? Right now I dont own the blade set or a router
and
trying to figure out what I'm going to buy for this project. Thought the
router because I want to use it for other stuff on this project too, just
not sure if its a good idea for doing the straight lines with.
A dado on a tablesaw is faster, but my preference would be a router and a
straight edge. Know though, that many plywoods (assuming you're using
plywood) are not exactly 3/4" in thickness. Many are slightly less or more
thick, doesn't matter if you're dealing with imperial or metric measure.
With that in mind, you would have so search out the appropriate sized router
bit, most likely not a 3/4" bit.
My experience is with Canadian supplied plywood and router bits that run
17.5mm, 18mm, 19mm and so on. I haven't worked with plywood from other
countries (like the US) and don't know if they adhere to more specific
standards when it comes to plywood.
