Dados with a router

[Don Selke]

Jim, sorry I am so late in responding. I set up the jig as Tom explains, test cut the dado and if it is too tight, I re-adjust the jig by placing a credit card between the stock and the jig opening. If it is too loose after using a credit card, I use a business card as a shim. Hope this explains it.

I've used a router to cut dados for many years.
With the proper setup and safety measures, it works very well.

I prefer to cut dados in larger panels or pieces with a router.
Easier than handling the panels on a TS.
