Using Dado Blade Set and Dado Insert
Dadoing is cutting a rabbet or a wide groove into the work.
Most dado head sets are made up of two outside blades and
four or five inside cutters, as shown in Fig. 32.
Various combination of saws and cutters are used to cut
grooves fro
m 1/8” to 13/16” for use in shelving, making joints,
tenoning, grooving, ect.
The cutters are heavily swaged and must be arranged so that
this heavy portion falls in the gullet of the outside blades, as
shown in Fig. 33. The saw and cutter overlap (A) being the
outside blade, (B) and inside cutter, and (C) a paper washer
which can be used as needed to control the exact width of
groove.
A 1/4” groove is cut by using the two outside blades.
The teeth of the blades should be positioned so that the raker
on one saw is beside the cutting teeth on the other saw.
The dado head set is assembled to the saw
arbor in the same manner as the saw blade.
The guard splitter and anti-kickback finger
assembly can not be used when dadoing
operations and must be removed from the saw.
The included dado head table insert must be
used in place of the standard table insert.
WARNING:
Blades are dangerously sharp. Use extreme caution when
working with or around the blade. Wear proper safety protection such as heavy
gloves.
WARNING:
NEVER use the dado head in a bevel position unless you
make your own dado insert!
ALWAYS install blade guard after operation is complete!
