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.


How about a Woodmaster http://www.woodmastertools.com/s/index.cfm or
similar machine with 2, possibly 3 molding heads for the slot. You'd
have to use longer pieces, then cut to length because of the 8" minimal
planing length. With a custom bed board you could have 2 or 3 pieces
running through at once. It might even be worth a custom head from Byrd
Tools http://www.byrdtool.com/shs1.html to speed blade replacement.
