What's Your "White Whale"? Is the Excalibur Elite the BEST ADJUSTABLE DADO EVER???

SHOP NOTES:
I have been waiting over 20 years to get my hands on an Excalibur Elite dado blade, and now I'm admittedly totally confused by it! We'll put this to the test in the mid-week follow-up.

SHOP NOTES:
Despite what I said in the last video, this ISN'T the mid-week follow-up STUMPED Q&A video but rather the video that I should have put out. The Q&A for BOTH of these videos will follow on Friday. And it's not called "Ultra"!

A Very Special STUMPED? Q&A from the Excalibur Elite Dado videos with Special Guests

Post by Chad »



My Growth Rings with Scott Markwood

*To view this video you must be a My Growth Rings youtube channel member.*
For more information, please visit: https://www.youtube.com/c/MyGrowthRings/featured

Exclusive Underwriter gives you access to STUMPED Q&A videos
Access to the video Library of Questions, Comments, & Cheap-Shots from all past videos. All for about $2.00 a month. That's less than the cost of one issue of your favorite woodworking magazine.

SHOP NOTES:
The Action begins around the 20:00 mark. What makes this episode of STUMPED? Q&A special? It was recorded live during our monthly Board of Directors “Board Meeting”. We not only discuss the questions, comments and cheap shots from the two proceeding videos be we also talk about a few of our “White Whales” or perhaps better said, “Unicorn Tools”. Finally, we put the Excalibur Ultra adjustable dado blade set to one more test, cutting a dado, a rabbet, and a lap joint in quarter sawn white oak.

Here are links to a few of the products I used or discussed in this video:
