That's pretty good. You sure you didn't sneak in a quick swipe with a
sanding block?

Nope, but hey ... if you can fix tear out with a quick swipe of a
sanding block like that, I'll take it any day!

Actually, these were test cuts for both depth and width in a piece of
scrap that I'd saved as "setup blocks" so I could repeat a sacrificial
fence setting on another project.

Do you score the cuts before dadoing?

Nope, we make the cuts first and then score after the cut. BUT ! We
mostly give them a score of 100. ;~)

GROAN Bad Leon. Bad, bad Leon.
