Step 2:

Utilizing a dado blade from the table saw, cut a portion of the thickness. Another trick is to create a series of small passes. You should make sure you elevate the blade by 1/8″ for each one. Place the edges of the square of the board in the guide, and then push it using consistent pressure. In the event that the cuts are longer than the blade of your dado, you can make additional passes.
