What kind of tools do you have?

You do not need a table saw or a router to cut a dado.

You can do a good job with a circular saw (Skill saw type) and a good
chisel.

Cut two Cuts of the proper depth so the outside edges are just a hair
lager than a 1/4 assume you are using 1/4 plywood.


Carefully remove the center material with a hammer and clean it up with
the chisel.

T have a table saw with dado and a router, I find it can be done as
quick with the above method as with either tool
