Swingman...I thought you were leaving the group?

You will definitely need to pay more attention than that when you're using a
table saw with a dado set.

It isn't a "no brainer" and the instructions were not MIA...it was a new
pack and there were none that I recall but then again I ditched the cheap
plastic factory "storage case" after a few uses in favor of a home-made
wood
box that gives me easy access to the parts, keeps them from banging
against
each other, doesn't take 20 minutes to get them all back in when I am done
plus it holds the dado TS insert so everything is in one place.

I'll ignore your previous comment about chippers sandwiched between the
two
outer blades. I concluded that must have been a personal reminder from
you
to you. Do what ya gotta do I guess. Read it often and don't forget your
safety glasses.

Anyone who has to ask, on a public forum, how to assemble and use a dado
set, and in particular ask a question of that basic a nature, would do well
to get some experienced, hands on guidance, in person, before attempting to
use one. You're spinning way too much metal to be guessing.

From what I've gleaned from the left/right in/out up/down posts, I think
the
answer is the round disks attached on the outer blades face in towards the
chippers.

You "think"??! ... sorry, that ain't gonna cut it around that much spinning
metal. If you don't know for sure, don't ... until you do.

But yes ... that answer _is_ pretty much the definition of a "no brainer".
