Routing or partly cutting through a solid wood wall

[d000hg]

I've seen stranger things! But perhaps not.

in any case attempting to use a router on a vertical post is hair raising even for an experienced user

Yeah it's what they call a 'twelve change of underwear' job!

Somebody skilled enough to do it probably wouldnt do it

The actual case is a bit more involved, I'm struggling to find how to describe it clearly.

I think you need to get someone round to quote/advise - failing that start by describing in here what the overall project is to give context as to why the rebate is needed - then some of the folks in here may be able to suggest something that will let you step around the issue rather than trying to create this rebate - a job that I really don't you are really not ready to tackle.

Also a few photos would help...

However, that's a chunky piece of timber to find in a wall. Chunky enough to suggest it is structural.

Stitch drill it then chisel it out. This is a hand tool job. Sharp hand tools.
