Well, I know all this. I just have to figure out if I have the right
equipment.

A) Since the cuts will be along with the grain wouldn't it be
considered a "Groove", as opposed to a "Dado"?

B) Is there a blade that will allow me to make a 1/4" x 1/4" groove?
(I have a 10" Delta TS200LS Shopmaster).

C) Since the "Rabbet" will have to be a bevel cut. what is the best
way to accomplish this?(The wood will be 3/4" thick).

D) Would a hard wood like oak(which I assume I can easily get a Home
Depot) be a better choice than what the original control panel was
made of, which I think is BC plywood, or is there a better option?

Thanks a lot.

Now that I've seen your name again, I think I've done business with
you before. *Probably bought/sold some PCB's or something.

Let me try to answer your question. *To find the angle you can use a
sliding bevel (t-bevel) and/or a protractor. *Think of the vertical
piece in your photo as having a dado as wide as the blade kerf. *Lay
the piece flat on a table saw and set your blade angle. *Cut your
dado. *Make it wider if need be. *The horizontal piece in your photo
is a rabbet cut at the same angle. *Don't round off the vertical piece
until you've finished the dado and rabbet and done a test fit. *Then
use a 1/4" round over on the end of that vertical piece.
