Default Dumb Dado Question

Secret wrote in message

Actually with this set you would go wrong. There are round discs attached
to the side of each outer blade. They are not thock enough to eb
stiffeners but are just shims that are permamnently affixed to the
blades. If you reverse the blades these shims would be on the outside of
the set and you would not get cuts in any of the standard sizes.


Sorry, but that still sounds like a no brainier to me. I tried to put it
gently ... let me put it another way ... and not directed at you personally,
you understand:

Despite the fact that I've never seen a set that didn't come with specific
instructions, and even supposing that these instructions were somehow MIA,
then a good case can be made that anyone incapable of NOT being able to
figure that out, or incapable of figuring out how to use all the blades and
chippers in any Dado set, would highly likely be better off NOT using one in
the first place without personal, hands-on instruction from someone who
does.

IOW, dado sets, of any ilk, are not to be taken lightly ... if you don't
understand their use, don't rely on second hand information, get firsthand
instruction.
