It sounds like you're looking for something like this:

Instead of a trim bit, why not a bushing and up-spiral bit.
- Make a wider dado through the top half of your jig (or add another
layer. It really doesn't matter how wide the dado is just wider than
the bushing and centered.
- Slide the left and right pieces (so the bottom of the jig touches).
- Use the router bit with the bushing to cut all the way through the
jig.
- You can now use the bottom half you your jig to reference the
thickness of your board. The top of the slot is the difference
between the bushing and bit.
Just run the bushing along the top edge of the jig and your dado is
the width of your reference. You can expose as much of the bit as you
want past the bottom edge of your jig.
It's kinda like a shooting board crossed with a Kerf Master for a
router. Use the same bushing and bit and there is no further
calibration needed. The minimum dado width will be your bit diameter, obviously.

I had to read that a couple of times before I could imagine it. My solid wood "runners" are only about 1/4" wide. Unless I have a bushing that is really close to the size of the bit I'm going go all the way through the "runner".
Another issue I can imagine is the centering of the bushing. As it stands, the roller on the bit is obviously perfectly centered on the bit. But with a bushing I have to do some fancy alignment, or (I suppose) make sure to keep the router in the sameorientation for every cut. I'm going to mull this over a little more.

This works but...... you have to use a guide bushing and it has to be >perfectly centered with the bit and or you have to remember to not clock
the router when making the cut.
A top bearing bit precisely makes the cut with no adjustments needed for
a bushing that might be off center.

Again, use a centering mandrel. If the bushing isn't centered the whole thing doesn't work. You can't guarantee that the bushing was put on the same way each time.

a bushing that might be off center.
Not a problem.

Remember, once you have the established dado/groove you can make it
deeper by using it's sides as the bearing guide.

I personally use a 1/2" depth of cut bit and often cut to a deeper depth.
I did an airplane display for Volga Neper Airlines and needed to bore a
5/8" hole in the center of the top of a post with a top set at 30 degrees. A DP was way too much trouble.
I drilled a 5/8" hole in a piece of plywood and attached that plywood to
the top of the angled top post. I plunged 1/2" deep, removed the
plywood and then proceeded to plunge deeper with out the plywood template. Once I reached about 1" deep I followed with a 5/8" brad point bit to
reach the desired depth 3~4". The starter hole guided the drill bit so that it went down perpendicular to the surface. I had to think about
that one for a while to figure that one out.

Ok, that's a mighty short trim bit.
How do you do that. He's going from 1/4" to 3/8". The cutter length
is certainly more than 1/4". The bearing will still be out of the
piece. Obviously a bottom bearing isn't going to work.
If the cutter is 1/4" and the dado is 1/4" deep simply plunge 1/8"
deeper, then the bearing will ride along the existing 1/4" deep side.
The same as what the OP mentioned, he said,
I have a flush-trim bit that is 1/2" in diameter with a 1/4" depth of
cut and a 1/4" shaft.
one that short. It seems like a really odd bit to me but that _is_
what he said.
Me,
I personally use a 1/2" depth of cut bit and often cut to a deeper depth. >> >
I did an airplane display for Volga Neper Airlines and needed to bore a
5/8" hole in the center of the top of a post with a top set at 30
degrees. A DP was way too much trouble.
I drilled a 5/8" hole in a piece of plywood and attached that plywood to
the top of the angled top post. I plunged 1/2" deep, removed the
plywood and then proceeded to plunge deeper with out the plywood template. >> >Once I reached about 1" deep I followed with a 5/8" brad point bit to
reach the desired depth 3~4". The starter hole guided the drill bit so
that it went down perpendicular to the surface. I had to think about
that one for a while to figure that one out.
Yep, it's 1/4" all right. Here's an old photo of the bit in my very first dado jig:

I made my original post because I was (am) having trouble finding a bit that's a little deeper, but not a lot deeper.
