What I want to do is create as perfect of a 90 degree channel as possible.
As an example, lets say I have a 2x4 piece of wood (for my question it dowsn't matter what type) and I want to channel out a section of the wood so that it is a perfect 90 degrees.
I could probably use my router with a straight bit and do that but I want to take out one of the corners so, in effect, it becomes an inverted 90 degrees from its original shape.
Any suggestions on the best way to accomplish this?

Almost all of this work is done on a table saw, using a router or a mortising machine in a drill press. I'm still not able to visualise the inverted 90 degree corner in relation to the channel.
To make it a little clearer, how would anyone know that it was NOT exactly ninety degrees? A dovetail joint, when viewed from the top down, looks like 90 degrees since the bottom is wider than the top.
