OPERATIONS

Dado Cutting

Commonly used in furniture joinery, a dado is a straight channel cut in the face of the workpiece. Dadoes can be cut using either a dedicated dado blade or a standard saw blade.

The table saw motor is pushed to its limits when making a dado cut. If the motor starts to bog down, slow down your feed rate and depth of cut and make multiple shal- low passes.

To use a stacked or wobble dado blade, do these steps:

1.	DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM POWER!
2.	Remove the table insert, the blade guard and split-
	ter, and the saw blade.
3.	Install the riving knife.
4.	Attach and adjust the dado blade system according
	to the dado blade manufacturer’s instructions, then
	install the dado insert.
5.	Raise the dado blade up to the desired depth of cut
	(depth of dado channel desired). When cutting deep
	dadoes, take more than one pass to reduce the risk
	of kickback.
6.	Adjust the distance between the fence and the
	inside edge of the blade as shown in Figure 48 to
	dado the length of a workpiece.
7.	If dadoing across the workpiece, use the miter

Dado operations require proper procedures to avoid serious injury. Extra care must be taken to prevent kickback when using dado blades. Any movement of the workpiece away from the fence will cause kickback. Be certain that stock is flat and straight. Failure to follow these warnings could result in serious personal injury.

DO NOT make a through-cut with a dado blade. Dado blades are not designed for through cuts. Failure to follow this warning could result in serious personal injury.

The danger of kickback increases relative to the depth and width of a cut. Reduce the risk of kickback by making multiple passes to achieve the desired depth of cut. Failure to follow these warnings could result in serious personal injury.

	gauge and carefully line up the desired cut with the
	dado blade. DO NOT use the fence in combination
	with the miter gauge.
8.	Reconnect the saw to the power source.
9.	Turn the saw ON. The blade should run smooth,
	with no vibrations.

10. When the blade has reached full speed, perform a test cut with a scrap piece of wood.
