Lip Slot Blues

My method sucks

I cut them by hand with a Japanese fine kerf saw, epoxy the plug, try to clean out the slot after it dries (which invariably rips things up), then epoxy the lip in.

I know those tiny bench top bandsaws have a fine kerf blade that is probably perfect.....but don't really want another bandsaw. The blade on my 14" saw leaves too wide and ragged a kerf.

So how do other people do it to get those nice clean perfect sized square bottomed slots which the lip slides into after the plug has been clear coated? If you're using a bandsaw, what type of blade? How do you keep the lip slot free of epoxy?
