I probably should have used it rather than cut a piece out of it. It was good for a discount on Beltone Hearing Aids.

Also, it was one of only three that were not embossed with a name and address. The embossing sorta ruins them as a feeler gauge.

Some great ideas, but the comment was really about the extreme precision of the PowerPro with the Dadonator blade, not how to cut a perfect sized dado. I have never before got a perfect sliver 30" long in plywood without any chip-out in every piece I cut.

If I was cutting a lot more I could have just added shims to the dado blade; the Dadonator blade comes with a wide variety of them.

You don't expect us to follow along with the original thought when there so many tangents that we can take off on do you?

farmer - I can't tell if you are being sarcastic or critical. I'll take the critical approach.

paul - If a clean bottomed dado was the point being made, what was the discussion about a 1/32" sliver?

If a clean bottomed dado is what is needed, make sure you have a "sharp" blade. If the bottom of the dado is on a plywood layer glue line, don't be disappointed if there is some chipout on the dado bottom. Avoid that glue line and don't use cheap plywood.

In the picture, it appears that you achieved a nice clean dado and you were using a quality grade of baltic birch plywood. Obviously, you have a good dado blade and it is sharp.

Congratulations on your PowerPro.

Neither. I was just engaging in friendly banter.

Sad but true!:eek:

I took it to 'imply' that there is no rule to exhibit tunnel vision an thus robotically 'stay on subject'.

i.e. Lighten up!:)

I was marveling about the 1/64" sliver, and the clean bottom both of which I have never gotten before. I credit the blade but also the precision (solid fence and no run-out) and power (no slowing down) of the PowerPro at 220V.

What is the advertised difference in horse power for the PowerPro when operated on 110vac vs 220vac?
