Default dado blade set vs. router

A dado set for the TS is great when you are doing a lot of straight
dados, talking about many feet of dados here. However, the router has
so many uses I would recommend purshasing it first. It is easy to cut
a straigt dado with the router by using a guide clamped to the work.
Also, if you are cutting dados for shelves in long boards, it is not
always that easy to do on the TS, particularly for a long board where
the dado is close to the end.

I just made a couple straight dados with my router. Put a 1/2" bit in
there and started nibbling at the cabinet grade plywood I had. Besides
kicking up a bunch of sawdust, it was easy.
