    If this has been discussedd, I missed it and apologize.

    a single ZCTP could work for dado joints that will be hidden by any kind of face frame (or whatever). 3/4 ply is never 3/4 - I think that's a given. But I recently came across advice for cutting dados into which ply will be fit (where the front/rear of the joint will be hidden): Cut your dado at a single width (say, 9/16 ) and depth (say, 7/16), and then dado the bottom edges of the ply (tenon fashion, ply run vertically against tall auxiliary fence followed by sacrificial backer) - fence set to 9/16, dado blade set a 7/16 height) to fit that width and depth.

      Where or how do you get it to $55? I know about the 25% off of $85, but what other promotion is needed to get it down to $55?

        Sorry, something else in that order was $55 and I got them mixed up. Still a good deal at $63.75.
