How I do planning to cut the groove
I thought you would tell me that
I was thinking about a Dremel....Frank,
I cut the initial groove depth parallel with the deck surface using a 0.080” ball end mill in a high speed grinder. The trick is to cut it in a straight line. I fabricated a crude fixture that assures a straight line is cut. As groover explained, Somender cuts the groove with a hack saw blade. I have seen others use a cut off wheel.
Once the initial groove is cut; the finishing is best done by hand. I have a set of small files to get the finished shape and size like I want it.
