Cutting accurate slots for LED tracks

[ToughButterCup]

I'm wondering if there is a tool for cutting slots for LED tracking. Made a right pigs lug'ol for a 2 meter track yesterday. Needs to be no more than 5mm deep....

Cutting in to what? I have used both a router and track saw in timber. Very easy.Some LED strips are top hat shaped so the edge of the slot can be a bid dodgy but it gets covered up.

What material are you trying to cut into?  If it's plaster, then better embed an LED profile channel

Apologies ; into plaster....

After thinking about it - I realise that I have the perfect tool already (Shaadup @Onoff)

 

An angle grinder guard with mm graduation settings on it. Now all I need is to screw a temporary guide to the wall and run the grinder along it for the requisite distance.

Router with dust extraction. Make a jig too.

Sorry I offer no help (looks like you've solved it already), but do you have any example pictures of what you're planning to do with these tracks @AnonymousBosch?

When I think of track LED lighting I think of things like this and this. It's clear from Adrian's link above we're talking something different (and less... overbearingly commercial), just keen to see what the final effect sought is? Thanks

Too late now but doesn't anyone make a channel designed  a to be fitted and plastered up to? Perhaps with a cover strip to stop the plaster getting into it. Then just peel off an press in the LED.

Check out @lizzie's install photos of recessed, plastered in LED strip on these two pages:
