Default Details of Dado jig please?
Report Post Report This Post!

Okay, I have my 1" cutter and brass template guide set. Am ready to make my dado jig. I have the photos Bob3 posted some time back. But I am not clear on how the jig is completed on the ends? Hard to phrase this question. But, okay....we have the long narrow piece with the 1" wide slot in it. Got that. But what is at each end? and how thick? Does it sit ON the work piece? I have a jig I've been using, the type where the router rides between the "rails", so to speak and it works okay. I goes OVER the work piece etc. Sorry guys, but I am just having trouble grasping the thing, even with the photos. I remember when the "single slot" plan was first posted I thought it was a GREAT idea and still do. I can DO dados with what I have, but the single slot appears to be much simpler AND probably more accurate. Thanks.
