@twizzlerboy Год назад

Best woodworking tip I've seen in a long time!

@AxGryndr Год назад

To make this work the best you can use a blade with a flat raker tooth. Most tablesaw blades use alternating tooth bevels (ATB) which will leave the bottom of the dado with a handful of VVV that need to be cleaned up with a chisel where the raker tooth blade will produce a flat bottom like a dado stack.

@StoneyMeyerhoeffer Год назад

I use a box joint grind from Forrest. Works great.

@jimweisgram9185 Год назад

I have a couple of those but since I have a router plane, I can clean the bottom of each dado in about 30 seconds. Zip zip fine tune, zip zip zip and on to the next ones. Of course I do need to sharpen that blade now and then

@TheCyberMantis Год назад

Nah. The VVV is great for holding glue. Think of it as glue-channels.

@sjsomething4936 Год назад

I e used a less effective way of doing this for awhile, for “cleanup” of the middle I do a few passes to remote majority of the unneeded material and then a router to finish up, i have much less concern about the router biting, causing a dangerous situation due to an excessive amount of material being removed it does a great job of cleaning the groove.

With so many newer woodworkers around, and so many veteran woodworkers putting down their tools due to age, it's always good to keep tips like this circulating through the community, in my opinion. This keeps knowledge fresh and stops it from being lost to time.

@nicolascomesse7432 Год назад

As you probably know, dado blades are uncommon if not illegal in Europe, where many of us have used this technique for years. Great that it made it's way all the way to the other side of the pond!

@JohnDoe-nl5mf Год назад

Why are they illegal?

@jonathanbuzzard1376 Год назад

@@JohnDoe-nl5mf They are not illegal but as a consequence of EU Safety legislation, they are tricky to legally implement. The legislation says that the saw blade must stop within a certain time after it is turned off. I am not sure what that is but it is quite quick. This is usually done with an electric brake on the motor. There are two issues. The first is that with the mass of a dado blade, stopping it that quickly would cause the nut holding the blade onto the spindle to come loose apparently. I have no idea if that is actually true but I can imagine it is. It could be solved with some sort of quick change mechanism that didn't rely on a nut but that would be more expensive. The second is you now need a more complex and hence expensive braking mechanism that can detect and compensate for the increased rotational inertia when a dado blade is fitted, to stop it in the required time. The simple solution for the manufacturers is to make the spindle too short to accept a dado and the problem is solved from their perspective.

@syninys100 Год назад

@@jonathanbuzzard1376 I'd note that this set of safety rules only applies for situations where an employer is hiring workers to use the employers saw. If you're the owner of the saw, then they do not apply. With that caveat, it does make more sense - you can do what you like, but when responsible for other peoples safety then there are more rules.

@dannymurphy1779 Год назад

Thanks - you showed a lot more simply than in the other video I saw about this, actions speak louder than words!

@glencrandall7051 Год назад

Thanks James. It is a simple idea. And as you stated it has been presented by others. But from the comments here a good many folks have not seen this before. Therefore it is a useful reminder. For those concerned about this technique not leaving a flat bottom, this is a great opportunity to use your router plane. In fact regular use of a router plane to finish off dados is a good idea. It ensures uniform dados. Thank you for sharing James. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂

@Hoeech Год назад

I am literally one sleep away from proceeding to the part of my current build in which I'll be cutting dados and I was dreading it. I always second guess myself and overthink the measurements, usually ending up with a dado that's too wide. This solution is so stupidly easy and virtually foolproof that even a fool like me can cut confidently. Thanks!

If the spacer boards along the fence through the whole cut bother you, you could just clamp it before the blade. You would want to hold the panel secure to the miter bar, but it would work fine.

@DomenicDatti Год назад

Great tip! This will surely save me time, as I do not have a dado capable saw. I bought the Freud blade you mentioned a long time ago in one of your other videos to cut dados, so I will definitely be using this trick. The thought dawned on me that this trick works with a dado stack as well. Your shim would have to match the thickness of the stack, but depending on how wide of a dado you're cutting, you might save a ton of time using this method.

@DomenicDatti Год назад

@@kyronnewbury I believe he suggested a bunch. I ended up with the Freud 24T Heavy Duty rip blade. He mentioned another from Ridge Carbide and possibly others. I'm sure you can find the video on his channel somewhere.

Finnaly after watching all your fantastic helpful tips and information. I can for the first time say this... I have been doing this trick for years. However the tip to add a bit of tape just to get the right thickness is a great idea that I never thought of. Great video buddy 👍

@CarlYota Год назад

It’s also worth noting that instead of the small shim you can use a drill bit. That way if your blade isn’t 1/8 you can easily get it perfect no matter the blade size. Remember that you don’t have to drag the wood against the rip fence you’re just using that tool set the position of the wood on your miter gauge or crosscut sled. So just jam the piece against the drill bit against your rip fence. Then make your cut leaving the drill bit behind. Of course if it’s easy enough to get your shin the size of your blade then that’s fine.

@TheCyberMantis Год назад

This is the most useful trick I have learned in a long time. Simple. Genius.

@Uglidan307 Год назад

In my dream shop, I will have every incremental dado stack in its own table saw in order, kinda like Norm and all of his routers! Great tip, I will use this one!

@glennryzebol4472 Год назад

This is a great trick. The guys over at foureyes furniture have a very similar one using a drill bit as a spacer in the same way you`re using that piece of hard board. Slightly different but the same result. I think your method might be a bit simpler to use so i will have to try it also . thanks

@IanPrest Год назад

This would also work well *with* a dado blade, so you have to do fewer passes. Just make sure your stack is thinner than you need your dado to be (though preferably greater than 1/2 the desired dado size, so you only need two passes), and make sure it's of a known thickness, so you could use a brass setup block as your 'thin' spacer.

@LewHarriman Год назад

@zS39SBT4fe5Zp8Q Год назад

@philjohnwilliams Год назад

You can save yourself a few passes over the blade by using a dado stack that is narrower than the dado you are cutting, for example using a 5/8" stack to cut a 3/4" dado in two passes

@paristo Год назад

The idea of this is that you don't need to switch blades. You just get the required cuts made quickly, as making few extra passes is not wasted time.

@percyfaith11 Год назад

@@paristo Depends on how many dados you have to cut. A dado in 2 passes versus 6 or 7 passes is a lot of saved time if you have to do 10 dados.

@paristo Год назад

@@percyfaith11 If it would be dedicated machine for this one task, it would make sense more, or if the cut needs to be long ones. Then dado stacks make sense. But swapping between working and all, it is just time saver to even do those few cuts more. Common cut is only 1/2-3/4" wide. Common blade is what, 1/8" kerf. For one dado you need to do 5-7 cuts with little overlapping, so you don't need to use chisel to finish it. Having a good sled makes it super fast. First, last and then between. Even easier is often to use a router with good sled jig, that does it with one pass, but table saw is still faster. If one doesn't do dados all the time, time and effort savings to use dado stack isn't there.

@y2kroxy 9 месяцев назад

I like the idea of the dado stack when you have production work. No , I don’t do this for a living but I could see using that dado stack as the kerf thickness could save me time. I’m currently making 22 cabinet drawers using the 1/2, 1/2, 1/2 method which will have 1/2” and 3/4” thick bottoms that will be in a dado all around . Having to do this with a a regular 1/8 kerf blade would take forever. Using the dado stack with this video would be easier than having to fidget with differing dado stack thicknesses and will only to do 2 passes at most.

@ralphiewigs2208 Год назад

This simple jig (masonite, maybe with tape) will now need to be turned into an impossibly complicated build. i'm imagining quick change inserts, rulers, adjustable stops, possibly a laser, and lots and lots of t-track.
