Make a long box of four pieces glued up. Two strips of thickness equal to the width that you want the 'mortice' to be, separated by the length that you want the mortice to be, and sandwiched between two side strips. Slice the box up into key buttons on the tablesaw. Another advantage of this is that you could orient the grain of the pieces to make the mortice width dimension as stable as possible.
