August 11, 2005 Which Dados


I'm sorry for the delay in replay. I haven't used my blade for a while and they were hiding from me.

I use an ancient Craftsman stack dado set (model 32475) that hail from the "royal crown" logo period of Craftsman.

Otherwise known as the golden-age.

OK...

That's my name for that logo period.

They are STEEL. Relatively coarse cut combination blade patterned outside blades and their "KROMEDGE" teeth have done a whole range of projects.

Materials cut include; construction plywood, Pine, Douglas-Fir, Cedar, Oak, Walnut, Maple (some) and Birch plywood.

I have NEVER subjected them to MDF or particle board.

Maybe I'll get that smaller diameter, finer toothed set of dados the Job Site saw uses.

Maybe the full 15/16 inch set. Unlike, Job Site saw only owners, I could take advantage of the over 9/16 capability of the set(with finer teeth) on my Radial Arm Saw.

I prefer stacked dado sets.

I'm one of the people who actually USE paper spacers to do width of cut "fine-tuning"

Up one level
