You can usually find a decent router on Craigslist or rent one. Look for a model with the "micro adjustable" feature -- there are many good recommendations/threads/videos in the woodworking forum.

And when you get one, this is how it's done, by using a special t-molding slot-cutting bit: |

Don't be afraid to mess up either. This is one of the easiest cuts to make. But if, by chance, you do mess up all you have to do is refill your cuts with glue and try again. And as recommended the only way to make this cut is to buy a router and a t molding bit. Good luck. |
