The Dado Stop references the blade’s unique kerf and the actual inlay material to measure the cut. Setting up your dado cut takes just a few seconds, and eliminates the need for measuring, test cuts, and wrestling with multiple blades and shims. Best of all—there’s no dado blade required.
Your fastest dados ever.
- Static Leg 1 measures exactly 3 inch (75mm), can be used to calibrate fence scale.
- Also functions as a crosscut stop for safe, repeatable crosscuts.
- Maximum dado width: 1-5/8 inch (41.275mm) with a 13/16 inch (20.955mm) stacked dado set.
Make perfect dados in a fraction of the time.
- Template your blade’s kerf.
- Set Leg 2 to cut one shoulder, accounting for the kerf.
- Set Leg 3 to match your inlay material.
- Cut both outside shoulders, registering off Leg 1 and Leg 3.
- Clear out remaining material from the centre.
Cutting dados requires careful setup, precise measuring, and often extensive testing. The Dado Stop was born out of frustration with this process – there had to be a better way. Its intuitive design accounts for runout, and registers off the actual inlay material, allowing you to cut flawless dados without measuring, marking, testing, or even changing saw blades.
