WELCOME TO THE FORUM

If you use a carbide tipped slot cutter, and do the machining carefully, you can slot the board. You have to be careful in handling and installing the "T". If this is just an edging take care not to break off the edges. For connecting stand up panels, you might want to back up the seam.
