How do you figure to get a 1-3/8" deep slot from a cutter that only has a
5/8" cutting depth?
If you take the cuts in shallow increments, AND you don't have any play
in your spindle, you should be able to get within a half-thou. of the
cutter diameter, or so.
But not that depth!

Will take very..very..very careful setup and repeated cuts.
Or simply find a used horizontal mill...OR a used shaper. Problem

Pretty difficuld to do with a shaper to get a clean cut at the base
of the cut (end of the slot) unless cutting across the stock (1 inch
cut) and then to cut 3/16" wide and 1 3/6" deep would be some fun - -

Very simple to do. One simply needs a sawhorse to put the end of the
work if its over table size
