Hi,
I'm looking for advice on how to put a groove on the edge of a board. I'm pretty new to carpentry so I apologize in advance if I use the wrong terminology.
I've got a board 3/4" thick 3" wide and 18" long
I need to put a centered groove on the long edge of the board that is 1/4" wide x 1+1/8" deep
I've got a TS55 Plunge Saw, OF1400 Router, MFS 400, MFT3, some clamps and QwasDogs.
I just got the OF1400 and MFS, I actually don't have any router bits yet so I'm looking forward to getting some and using them.
Whenever I've seen this done online or on TV, they use a tablesaw set at 1+1/8" high and slide the piece though longways and then flip it around and slide it through again to get it centered.
I don't have a tablesaw and I don't really want one so I'm hoping someone can show me how to do this with the powertools I've got.
Thanks!
