I have used regular rabbet blades, set to 1 inch width, on my table saw.  I
just raise the blades to cut about 3/4 way through the stock and clamp a
wooden stop onto the table to position the hand holds in the right place.
Then with the stock pushed against the stop and along the fence, I just lower
it down over the blades and pick it up again.  This works just fine for me,
because I really don't need the fancy sloped bottom edge anyway.
