Johnny Reb Posted June 19, 2020 Report Posted June 19, 2020 This is what it should be...is it one router bit or two??? Quote
ggdad1951 Posted June 19, 2020 Report Posted June 19, 2020 It's 2 passes with different bits. Likely the factory had one custom bit. Or you can do separate passes with a table saw to get the same effect. Quote
Young Ed Posted June 19, 2020 Report Posted June 19, 2020 It would be easiest if you had one bit the full width of the cut and then a skinny one to cut the deeper groove. However if this is stuff you won't reuse you should be able to use the smaller bit for it all and just do a couple passes for the shallow area Quote

If doing it with a router, instead of saw, I'd use an edge guide on the router and use straight boards, really straight! Guessing at the dimensions from the pic, Probably a 1/2"wide bit for the edge followed by a 1/4" set for the deeper, inner cut. Bigger bits are available, but only for routers that take a 1/2" shank bit. Edited June 19, 2020 by kencombs Quote
