Commonly used in furniture joinery, a dado is a straight
channel cut in the face of the workpiece. Dadoes can be
cut using either a dedicated dado blade or a standard
saw blade. Figure 57 shows a cutaway view of a dado cut
being made with a dado blade.
The included dado table insert must be installed and used
when a dado blade is installed—unless a zero clearance
table insert is used instead.
The table saw motor is pushed to its limits when making
a dado cut with a dado blade. If the motor starts to bog
down, slow down your feed rate, reduce the depth of cut
and make multiple shallow passes.
