Cutting deep dados
Building a workbench. Plans call for a dado (4 of them) to
hold cross braces at the ends. The dado cut is to be 1 1/2 inches deep by 3 inches wide. My 6 inch dado with the adjustable dial (Freud) can only cut 1 inch deep or less. Suggestions? Thought of the following solutions but hope there might be others: 1) use regular sawblade and make the cuts (tedious as the dados have to be 3 inches wide), by going back and forth over the length of the cut. 2) use a router 3) use the Freud dado and use a router for the last 1/2 inch. 4) chop them out - saw and chisel - ala mortise/tenon. 5) buy a 8" dado set. Expensive for a good set. I'd like to see if there is a $50 solution first. - How about it? Is there a good way of doing this? MJ |
