So at one end of each post I need to cut a slot right though the post
(i.e.from one face to another on the centre line), either 8.5mm thick or
perhaps 9mm.
My only thought so far are to use a router, cutting from both sides ... but
it's still asking a lot ... at least 75mm depth of cut and only 9mm wide.
I have a hand held router.

Any other suggestions ?


When I made a fence with 100 posts which needed 3 such holes drilled
in *every* post - I hired one of these - did the job really
easily/neatly......
