That size is shaper territory. Probably what made the demo piece.



Tablesaw and dado if you have it, or _multiple_ passes, each offering an opportunity to screw it up....



Do they make a router bit that will make the inside cut depicted in the

The piece



pictured is 1 3/4" wide and 1/2" tall. I just have a 1/4" shank router. >

Mark,

As others have said you can make this in several ways. You can use a TS alone to make it, a router alone will also work but I think combining the two methods will work better and at no additional cost in having to purchase a 90deg router bit (to cut the 45deg angles).

Set the TS up to make the 45deg cuts then use the router in a router table with a bit to hog out the inside groove. If you don't have a router table you can easily make a temporary setup. Rather than giving instructions here, I'll just point you to Pat Warner's site

and you can poke around there to get the info you need.
