Recently purchased CMT dadoset which came with 4 or 5 metal shims of various thicknesses. When attempting to install some of these shims for a plywood dado, the shim(s) would invariable drop between the arbor threads making it impossible to tighten up the set of blades. The shim having dropped between the threads would block the subsequent blade from sliding beyond the stuck shim. After many futile attempts, the entire set of shims were artfully launched across the shop making a landing in some unaccessable spot.
Now that I have cooled off, I was wondering what the proper procedure would be to install these fiesty little rascals. Double sided tape would add thickness...no good. A quick spray of adhesive for a temporary hold?? If anyone can offer a solution to this I might find the intestinal fortitude to initiate a search for the MIA shims and try this again.
As always, I appreciate everyone's insightful advice.
