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

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.



3/64" deep? I'm curious, why do you need to cut this (I hesitate to
use the word) "slot" anyway?

If I had to do 2000 of these a day, I believe I'd take this old 4"
jointer I have but seldom use, and and grind an old set of knives to
give the 1.5" width. Cut the blocks to length afterwards.

The blocks are 7" long and I buy them. I can't make them cheap enough
anymore so I farmed it out to an Amish company, they do a great job! I only
have to do 600-800/day but I can't dedicate 8 man-hours to it, only 3-4.

See: http://www.smithrestaurantsupply.com...cfm/4,2134.htm this shows
the parts and how they fit.
