As soon as you clamped the first scrap piece up I was bugger me, that’s so obvious doh🤦
Love it; Thanks.
I might try that next time I need to cut a dado. Thanks for the tip
Good thinking
Wow – this is so good. God bless you good sir!
Awesome!!!
Nice technique! The only quibble I would offer is that if you use a "tape" shim is that you add the tape at the top and the bottom and turn the tape side to the rip fence so that your tape shim doesn’t get snagged by the end of your "dado" board and start to roll up on you messing up the cut. By putting the tape to the fence that can’t happen but you want to have your tape added to both the top and bottom so the piece is clamped truly perpendicular to the saw table.
As I watched, especially the part where you removed the waste in the middle, it occurred to me that it was easy to see what was happening from the camera’s viewpoint, but not so much from the view of the worker. Then I imagined a mirror, perhaps on the gooseneck, connected to the fence on the outfeed side of the blade, and angled so that it shows the start of the cut to the worker.
That is truly smart
🤯
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.
Well, that solved problems I haven’t had yet. Many thanks for this one!
Wow!!! You just helped me with a solution to a problem that has been troubling me. Many thanks.
Very elegant. Thank you.
There you go, Numpy.
Thank you for the intelligent and simple method. When I watch your videos you come across as a really intelligent and skilled person.👍
brilliant!
Brilliant. Thank you!!!!!!!
Thank you for your continuing instruction in a calm manner. It’s good to see the craft continuing to expand through the generations for the woodies. Good on ya.
how have I never thought of this? A gamechanger for sure.
Thank you 🙏 ❤
Thank you for sharing this! It’s really encouraging to learn beginner friendly techniques.
I’m amazed. I was going to buy a dado blade set but not now.
Ok. Wow. Thank you 😊
I will definitely be using this!
Curious. Is that the Harvey router table drop-in adjacent to fence?
Excellent tip!
I thought the point of the dado stack was that it saves you from having to make 7 passes hogging out the material. If you have only one six inch dado to cut it guess it’s fine. But if your making something more realistic like 4 two foot dados in a console is it really viable to cut that with a single blade setup?
So you want to spend twenty minute setting up for a two minute cut or do you want to cut away at it for twenty minutes with nearly no setup?
So simple, love it! Thanks Stumpy, your my go to guy for all things wood and yes you can teach an old dog new tricks 😅
CLUTCH!
Wicked good!
Thanks great vid .
You could even attach them to make a double sided spacer, and just flip it over between cuts
Everyday is a school day! Brilliant, just brilliant!
I am gonna be smacking my forehead every time I will be using that trick… Briliant !
I was taught this at school for cutting rebates (rabbets). I never thought of using it for dado slots. D’Oh.
You are one of the best instructors on You Tube! This video is, as we used to say, Far Out!
metric ply wood , is that why the 15/32s is all about
I just watched this again and face palmed myself for a second time.
Isotunes and powertools seem like a terrible pairing to me. I don’t want anything vying for my attention while I’ve got my flesh near 10,000 RPMs of sharp spinning metal
Whaaaaaattttt! We are all idiots
Clever boy! Pure creativity genius!
Oh man, I have been cutting dados like that since 1981, because I never even thought about paying for a dado blade………
Wow! Don’t know where you got this but holy smokes, this is a real jewel. I’m actually looking forward to my next project where dados would be appropriate. Thank You!
This is WONDERFUL!
Now that’s a life changing video! Thanks for sharing this gem!
Omg! Sooo perfect!!!!!
Thank you for your expertise!
Chris
Simple is often best. Thoughts on cutting multiple dados receptively?
OMG this is brilliant.
That is such a great technique, thanks for sharing
