Now if they'd only make a BIGGER one (rat trap?).

It can be used with wider stock and/or kerf if you use a piece of the
crosspiece stock along with the KM-1 - alternatively, there's a how-to
for making a quick and dirty (but equally accurate) lap joint jig at

IN addition to a wider kerf (3/4" would be nice), I'd like the
business surfaces to be larger so I could use 3/4" blocks.


Do you have one?


Yes, but haven't used it other than to play.

How wide of a dado do you want to make?


3/4" would be nice. 23/32" is a popular size. ;-)


If you are using this on a TS and use a stacked dado set simply using a
stacked set up to 1/2" you can cut a 3/4" dado easily with the minimum of 2
passes. Technically you should be making a minimum of 2 passes anyway.

I am a bit confused about wanting a 3/4 block? What would that be for?





Like I said, allowing 3/4" stop blocks would make it easier to use
too.
