Needed a dado set for making 1/2" dados on a bunch of drawers.
Bought a Freud 206 and set it up for 1/2" by using the outer blades and two chippers.
The dado came out pretty well except for two thin lines on the bottom of the dado.
What was scary was the occasional spark from the stack hitting the BT3100 dado throat plate.
A few questions:
1. Do you remove the bushings on the backside of the motor shaft when you mount the dado stack? Which one?
2. Do you recommend a zero clearance throat plate?
3. I searched the board for making throat plates and I wonder what the latest techniques are you using? BTW, neither Lee or Jeff sell blank throat plates any more.
4. Any reference you may have for using Dado stacks? Been a looong time since I used one.
