About 8~9 years ago Bridge City Tools came out with a fine little jig

than the width of the dado.

I bought that expensive little jig and have had great success when using
it.

Seems there is a shop made version now and probably the absolute
simplest that I have seen.

Take a look!

I agree, that is perfect!
Plus, I like the blade width adjustment screw which gives you fine
tuning for different materials.
I have found that some materials glue up better with a tight fit and
some better with a looser fit. Probably due to expansion.
