Thread: VERY Clever Way to Make Drawers

  1. #1

    VERY Clever Way to Make Drawers

    I have to get one of these saw blades when they become available:

    Read the article then watch the video at the top of the page.

    Way cool. Would save a lot of time if you were building a shop full of storage cabinets.

    This was just discussed in another thread, but I can't find it. Call me lazy. It's a neat concept, but I'd never use it.

    Interesting.

    I wonder how much it will be.

    Not saying I "need" one-but there looks to be a lot of steel in that blade.

    I would use this but I wonder how it would match up with different dado sets.

    I need drawers but too many projects and not time for my own cabinets.

    He wont have to worry about it. Its on the web. There is probably a factory in China cranking them out already with a different name.

    MLCS will have this available at the travelling carney wood works show. It will be bright blue and in mm.

    Not green w/systainer?
    When I started woodworking, I didn't know squat. I have progressed in 30 years - now I do know squat.

    It's to my mind a very nice and useful solution. Not necessarily the answer to everything, but certainly very useful where applicable. Pretty much a quick and easy alternative to a mitre lock.

    I wouldn't be wild about the requirement to match the speciality cutter with a dado - it all seems a bit complicated and possibly prone to error/tooling incompatabilities. It might be better if possible to try to deliver a cutter combining all functions in one - with adjustable width for differences in ply thickness.

    Agreed. Even if he corrects the design to eliminate the gap with his dado stack there is virtually no chance it would match other makes and models of dado stacks. A single blade profile is the way to go. Even then, I would be unlikely to use such a thing. For starters, I'm very unlikely to ever make a drawer with all sides and bottom the same thickness plywood.

    I do give him credit for a clever, innovative idea.
