Glad I found this forum - it looks like a lot of good info.
Those pesky shop elves seem to have run off with my bt3000 dado throat plate. I don't use it often (it's been maybe 10 years?) but I need it now and it's nowhere in sight (it was last seen with my moulding knives, which are also missing, sigh). Ordering a new one will take a while, it seems.
I know not to use the dado set without it - but is the reason for using the throat plate so that scraps don't fall down in the blade and get thrown back out?
Is there any reason why I can't take a piece of masonite or other thin stock and make my own plate for the 30 or so dados I need to cut? If there's no reason for in my not doing so - would someone please measure the slot size and let me know what size I need to cut out.
Thanks
