    Cut dadoes the fast easy way and get a perfect fit every time. Best if this jig is made this size for narrow stock, but also longer for wider panels. Like I said in the video, a longer one would need the locking clamp on both ends to keep it from opening up. I'll be making the longer version in an upcoming video.

    Wood working is all about the jig. Any way to make something faster or more convenient is the way to make anything doable and satisfying. That's one reason many want to do wood working because it creates a little pocket of happiness.

  • @GregsGarage
    @GregsGarage 2 года назад +14

    "it's a little less convenient to cut a 3/4" dado with a 1/4" bit"... Yeah, it takes about 10 extra seconds! :D:D:D:D. I'd say it's worth the effort John! Great jig.

      Yep, running a 3/4 bit in my full size router is 10x more hassle then just using a trim router. Also your not doing a full 180° engagement cut and can get a clean cut on both edges.

    • @ElAnvaBar
      @ElAnvaBar Год назад +1

      To quickly take out the middle bit. Just scew the router. When you contact both sides of the jig you're straight in the middle.

  • @seansysig
    @seansysig 2 года назад +3

    John this jig is perfect! I’m about to start a custom armoire for my newly remodeled bedroom. The upper most center drawer is 1/2”plywood with 1/4” dividers for ties & tie clips. The carcass and inside lower 3 drawers are 3/4” Baltic birch. I’ll be making all 3 jig sizes. These jigs will ensure tight accurate dados providing the strongest drawers, dividers, and shelves.

  • @briannewton3535
    @briannewton3535 Год назад

    I love this. I love the simplicity of it. I often cut dados on my table saw, without a dado set, as I'm in the UK, and the short arbors don't allow them. This really is right up my street as a solution.

    The quality on this video is outstanding. I noticed how you took a less explanatory approach which made the video shorter, and you introduced a product, with the makers’ mob plug twice split up to not make it too long. Really top quality. Oh, and your new rekindled focus on acoustics is paying off, too, lol, the new music is fancy. Like I said top quality. Great job, as always!

    @bradley3549 2 года назад +2

    Nice jig! I built something very similar but I use a top bearing router bit. Adjusting the dado directly to the plywood you are using is 100% the best way to do them.

    • @josephhfry
      @josephhfry 2 года назад

      I prefer this method as well. Then you can use any top bearing bit (as long as it's smaller than the slot) and any router.
