I have 40+ small pieces of wood to rout rabbets in and need some
advice as to how to safely hold the work. They are 2-3/4 x 3 x 5/8,
small drawer fronts, and I need to rout 7/16 x 7/16 rabbets in 3
sides of each one.

Any suggestions or links?

Build a carrier with an over center clamp to hold piece.

Use a router table with a starting pin.

Use a rabbeting bit with a bottom pilot bearing.

Plan the cutting sequence so you eliminate any chip out or use a
backer block.

Have fun.
