Hi everyone,
About 5 months ago I spent some time and built a finger joint jig for my tablesaw. I had just purchased a Delta Dado set on close out from the now defunct Woodworker's Warehouse (got it for 50% off) and thought the addition of the box joint jig would compliment this blade set.
While I was impressed with the cut, I was not too happy to see the little "v-grove" that the ATB (Alternate Tooth Bevel) blade made at the side of every dado! This pretty much renders this dado set useless for decorative joints.
Anybody have a recommendation for a dado blade set that will cut true, flat bottom dados? And not break the bank? I figure I'd like to stay in the $100 to $150 range if possible.
I posted this on WoodCentral and someone there suggested speaking to a blade sharpening service and having them grind the blade flat. While it's a good idea, I'd rather not do this. 1) I don't have a sharpening service nearby. And 2) I understand that this blade geometry was set up to do perform just this way. I'd rather just get another dado.
Thanks in advance.
