I don't see how that would be faster. Do you know of a jig that would

Sure, here's one that I made in 5 minutes:http://home.comcast.net/~bobengelhardt/CuttingJig.jpg

The arrowed blob is a screw stub 1/4" o.c. from the kerf.
To use, make a first cut anywhere. *For the 2nd cut, register the 1st
cut on the screw stub & cut. *Repeat. *The jig would be screwed to your
mitre guage. *A couple of seconds per cut.

As you can see, this prototype didn't keep the spacing very accurately.

base and wobbled. *Better would be to replace the screw with a glued
strip of wood, or something.

Ok, thanks.

I wasn't think in terms of using my woodworking equipment also. :-)

Unfortunately, my table saw sounds like a Jumbo jet and my window of
opportunity closed when new neighbors moved in below me at the
beginning of the month.

But perhaps my router table will suffice. Unlike the cheap Delta table
saw I have, I have a miter gauge for it. (The table saw has unorthodox
miter gauge slot dimensions and therefore I'd have to make some
runners for it).

I do have a mini table saw that is about half the size of a bread
box. :-) But I doubt I'd find a blade thick enough to make 3/16"
grooves.

Thanks.
