IME, crosscutting dados with my Craftsman RAS is a bit tough because the

Forrest make a great dado blade that works well on the RAS.


The standard Forrest dado blade or one for RASs?

carriage lurches forward


The roller head bearings might be too loose and require adjustment. You need
to hold onto the motor with some positive control.


I'll check. In any event, there is still a "tendency" to lurch inherent in
the way any blade works - though it is good to know that there is a way to
ameliorate it.
