I've searched everything I can find but can't get an answer. So I thought surely someone here knows.
Can you use pocket screws with a dado ? Such as a shelf set approximately 1/4” into the side panel of a shop cabinet. I'm using 3/4” cabinet grade birch plywood and would like to use dadoes for the bottom, top, and shelves but, I don't want any visible fasteners showing on the outer surfaces. My reasoning for dadoes is for extra strength and to prevent possible racking.
It seems that the decreased thickness at the joint would require either a different depth setting or maybe just shorter pocket screws.
Please help, Thank you
