Scribing
the lines to establish the width of the dado on the inside

Using
a chisel to make a thin cut inside of the scribe lines.

Fasten
the board securely to your bench top and adjust your router
plane to take a fine cut—the thinner, the better—to establish
the dado. I clean out the groove as I go, using a chisel after
every other pass with the router plane to carefully remove
the waste and to ensure that the walls are smooth and vertical. Remember to take light passes and increase your
depth gradually; do not cut down past your scribe lines. When
you reach the desired depth, clean up the sides of the dado.
