I just got started with woodworking and one of my first purchases was a BT3100.
I recently purchased an Oldham 7" Adjustable Dado from my local HD. Last night was my first time using this blade building a frame for a pegboard project I found in ShopNotes. I noticed that the cut with the grain was very clean. For cuts across the grain (at the end of a board) the cuts were very rough and there as a lot of tearing where the blade entered and exited the edge of the wood.
Is this normal when using a dado across the grain? Would a more expensive blade be a better choice?
