The cleanest fastest way will be to use your router. For 3/16ths, I
might make two passes. It'll be loud as hell, but it'll leave a nice
smooth finish.
Alternately, a plasma cutter would do the job, but the cut won't be as
clean. I'm assuming you haven't got one, since if you did, you'd have
realized this is a nice excuse to use it. Once you get one, you want to
use it to cut everything, even though it's often not the best choice.
