DADO HEAD

IMPORTANT: THE BLADE GUARD AND SPLITTER ASSEMBLY CANNOT BE USED WHEN DADOING OR MOULDING AND MUST BE REMOVED OR SWUNG TO THE REAR OF THE SAW.

Dadoing is cutting a rabbet or wide groove into the work. Most dado head sets are made up of two outside saws and four or five inside cutters, as shown in Fig. 69. Various combinations of saws and cutters are used to cut grooves from 1/8" to 13/16" for use in shelving, making joints, tenoning, grooving, etc. The cutters are heavily swaged and must be arranged so that this heavy portion falls in the gullets of the outside saws, as shown in Fig.

70.The saw and cutter overlap is shown in Fig. 71, (A) being the outside saw, (B) an inside cutter, and (C) a paper washer or washers which can be used as needed to control the exact width of groove. A 1/4" groove is cut by using the two outside saws. The teeth of the saws should be positioned so that the raker on one saw is beside the cutting teeth on the other saw.

The dado head set (D) Fig. 72, is assembled to the saw arbor as shown. NOTE: THE OUTSIDE ARBOR FLANGE

DO NOT LOOSE THE OUTSIDE ARBOR FLANGE, FOR IT WILL BE NEEDED WHEN REATTACHING A BLADE TO THE UNISAW ARBOR. ALSO, THE ACCESSORY DADO HEAD SET TABLE INSERT (E) FIG. 72, MUST BE USED IN PLACE OF THE STANDARD TABLE INSERT.
