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
across a KD Beech block that is 2-1/4" wide. I need to do at least
2,000/day. I already do this but I won't say how as not to influence you.
We are trying to come up with a better, faster cheaper way.


Is that for 5 days or 500 days? That makes a difference in how much you can
afford to spend to automate. There are industrial machine cutters that can
knock that out in a short time, but you will be investing far more than the
cost of a dado setup on a cabinet saw or router.
