Tom Watson gave you a nice way to make a tongue that is reasonably precise

4x8 foot plywood. Or on the short end a 1x6 foot one either


I would use the same technique on ply up to about four or five feet in
length but would use a different one on the longer stuff.

The short edge of the 1x6 is no problem. If you don't like the idea
of running it through by hand, a typical sliding fixture with clamps
will hold the piece safely.

I've posted some pictures of this joint on ABPW.
