Hi all
How do you cut slots in thinnish pieces of wood, say 1/2" thick by 1" wide and you wan to cut a 1/2" wide slot in it? Typically for jigs etc.
Steve, how do you actually introduce the cutter into (through) the wood in the first instance?

Am I right in thinking you are talking about running a slot down the centre of a board, say for and adjustable jig of some sort? A through mortice, if you like. I do this regularly and never have a problem. A backstop to prevent kickback and a pushsick that presses down as well as forward, are essential.
