About 8~9 years ago Bridge City Tools came out with a fine little jig
that enabled you to cut perfect fitting dados with just about any width
blade or router bit. That is as long as the blade or bit cuts narrower
than the width of the dado.


They still make them.

I clicked and wandered a little. Apparently there is a larger version
with a magnetic reference stop that will be produced too.

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!

Neat. A lot cheaper, too.


Big time. I was inquiring many years ago about the capacity prior to
ordering the original kerfmaker, It had limitations in width. Looks
like I can build a bigger one for 2 X stock.
