Position for dado
Loosen star knob to free router movement.
Position board and router so cross hair line
of laser overlays line marking dado location.
Tighten star knob.
Set plunge depth
Zero bit on top of board. Use brass gauge
bar to set router depth stop to desired depth
for the dado cut.
Cut stopped dado
Push router behind board. Turn on router
and plunge bit to depth stop. Pull router
forward to cut the dado stopping before
exiting other side of board.
Examine the dado cut
With our laser guide it is simple to position
board and bit for a dowel or dado cut
including dados for sliding dovetails.
Since the router is “right way up” you can
see the cut as it is made and stop the cut at
any point.
