Dado Cuts

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 may be pushed to its limits when making a dado cut. If the motor starts to bog down, slow down your feed rate.

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 the saw blade.

3.Attach and adjust the dado blade system according to the dado blade manufacturer’s instructions, then install the table insert for dado blades.

4.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.

5.Adjust the fence as necessary to align the blade with the desired location of the dado.

6.Reconnect the power and cut the dado.

Note: When dadoing across a workpiece, use the miter gauge and carefully line up the desired cut with the dado blade. DO NOT use the fence in com- bination with the miter gauge.

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 seri- ous personal injury.

The danger of kickback increases rela- tive 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 per- sonal injury.

Dado operations require proper pro- cedures to avoid serious injury. Extra care must be taken to prevent kick- back 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.
