I have to cut a 1" dado for a miter track using my table saw. My 6" stacked
dado head cutter set will only cut to just over 3/4" wide. My table saw has
a good fence but not a world class fence so I don't want to just assume I
can cut a 3/4" dado, bump the fence over 1/4", and everything will come out
nicely. Does anyone have any tricks to get this cut to come out accurately
other than measure measure measure?

TIA.

GOOD NEWS AND BAD NEWS:

First the good news. The 1/4" shim worked great. Now the bad news: The
surface of the miter table has high pressure laminate on it (formica). The
dados chipped the edges of the hpl. I probably should have taped them or
used a router instead. Fortunately this will spoil the functionality of the
piece but it looks crappy. What would you have done - tape or router
or.....??
