Dadoing
Dadoing is cutting a groove into the work-
piece. There are a wide variety of dado
heads available - be sure and consult the
specific instructions included with your
dado head.
WARNING: For your own safety;
always read, understand and fol-
low all directions in the instruc-
tional booklet furnished with the
dado head.
The slot provided for the saw blade in the
regular table insert is too small for the
dado head to pass through. Therefore, a
special dado insert must be purchased.
WARNING: For your own safety,
always use dado insert listed
under recommended accesso-
ries.
A dado is never used for thru sawing or
cutting completely through a workpiece. It
is used for non-thru sawing, cutting part
way into the workpiece. Therefore, the
blade guard and spreader cannot be used
and must be removed. Use caution. Use
miter gauge, rip fence, featherboards,
push sticks, or fence facing board as
required.
WARNING: For your own safety,
always replace the blade, table
insert, guard and spreader when
you are finished dadoing.
The dado head is assembled to the saw
arbor in the same manner as the saw
blade. The arbor on the saw, is long
enough so that the widest cut that can be
made is 13/16" wide. It is not necessary to
install the outside loose collar before
screwing on the arbor nut. Make sure the
arbor nut is tight.
When cutting a “deep” dado or a wide
groove it is necessary to remove only a
small amount of material (1/8"-1/4") at a
time. Continue to increase dado elevation
until the desired depth is reached.
