I feel your pain - I have tried a similar thing for (rehab birds)using a
table saw and making multiple passes. It gets v tedious after a while
but unlike yourself, it's not something that has to be repeated often.
I gather you are making bat houses, a worthwhile endeavor IMO.

Yes, bat houses and very worth while for the little critters. Therapeutic for
my sanity too, but a bit hard on the wallet

From what I understand, dem leetle guyses have tiny feetzes and tiny
clawzes on 'em so a single cut with a table saw blade will give them
enough purchase to climb and roost.

That's what I used for my neighbor's bat houses. He tells me he hasn't
seen any occupants yet. shrug

Do NOT stain the inside like the idiot from the NWF site suggests.
It's both toxic to animals and the smell will drive them off.
