Jim:

You're quite correct, the "deep" and "wide" depend on your
orientation. I was thinking in the vertical, being an ex-pilot. Laying
the board on its side makes it easier. A 1/4" deep rabbet in a 2" wide
board is not a big problem. Call it a brain overload (spelled f*rt).

Regards.

I can think of a couple of ways:

1. You can do this with a stacked dado set in two passes.
2. You can do this on a router table with a 1 inch diameter bit (perhaps)
in one pass. It would be better to
use two passes (1/8 and then 1/4).

You can also cut such a dado in the table saw in two passes. This method
does require standing the piece on end which is far from safe.
