Default Cutting shallow, wide slot in hardwood

I need the best, cheapest way to cut a 1-1/2" wide by 3/64" deep slot

We are trying to come up with a better, faster cheaper way.


Stack a bunch of workpieces together, use a (possibly CNC) router on an
XY table with stops?

Maybe a mandrel, supported on both sides, with an extra-wide dado set
and a custom table?
