Thanks for the comments.
Decloaking my ignorance here: What's a bushing, here?
Also, I think I can make a jig myself, and just move it for each slot. But others, here and on the router forum, have suggested that routing 4 48" slots for each of 9 radiator covers in 3/4" MDF will be burdensome and create a lot of semi-nasty "shavings". What do you think about that?

A plunge track saw will run you about $500 or more. To make it worse, there seems to be a shortage of them right now. You might have to buy different blade than comes with the track saw. Clamps for the track are sold separately. Note that you won't be able to connect the adjacent cuts with the track saw. You'll need a jigsaw or similar.
Short of it is, that it may be no more costly to have a pro do the work or at least the cutouts.
Another option may be to have someone make a jig that you can use with a plunge router and bushing.
