Any decent router with a 1/2" collet could handle this.

I was assuming this guy did not have as big a shop as "Norm". ;-)

Hey, I simply suggested that he install dowels and use glue. It
doesn't really matter, it appears the OP has vanished and I doubt he
has the jig required to accurately install dowels, let alone cut a
3/4" slot and install a spline.

17 hours since the first post and you assume he's vanished? Maybe he has
a job
that doesn't allow him to post all day.

Why do you doubt that he can do the work? If he doesn't have a doweling
jig, he can buy
one for for $30-$90 depending on how much he plans to use it in the
future. If he
doesn't have a router, he can buy one. It's an extremely useful tool. I
have 3. If he's
never cut a slot and/or installed a spline, does that mean he'll never be
able to?

Or, he could buy neither and fix it by cutting off some more then
gluing/screwing a piece of hardwood to it thereby returning it to its former
glory at virtually zero cost.
