Circular saw with the level clamped to it will work as a guide. Circular saw should have 45deg bevel build in so just set the appropriate depth, do one way, turn the piece around, do the other side.
I would do this before cutting to final length so that you have support on the short side of the cut.

thanks, didn't know about those joiners, bit more than budget allows atm but will set up some ebay alerts. Dowel jig looks decent though, presumably can be used in general for drilling perpendicular holes?
The groove is going to be the challenge..I was thinking I'd probably have to saw it in half at 45deg and just flip one side over. Piece will probably be too wide to use the mitre saw but maybe you can do it in 2 cuts if you flip it round? Otherwise will have to see what features the incoming circular saw has and just clamp (oh..clamps!) a piece of wood to it
