What about something like a back saw blade clamped between two rabbeted
pieces of stock? The rebates would keep the blade centered and act as a
fence/depth stop.


How I normally saw this sort of groove is with my azebiki saw
http://www.axminster.co.uk/default.asp?part=384016

The problems in this case are that:

- It's damn slow. There's four foot of groove in one of those trays.

- It's a pain to do the stopped ends

- (the real killer) I just couldn't find any sawblade thick enough
(16 gauge) to cut it in one pass.


I made three trays by hand-sawing the slots and I won't do any more
that way. I couldn't afford to, for one thing.
