Folks,
I am trying to cut some Dado's for the runners of a table saw sled.
I got my issue with cutting straight dado's fixed, basically it was just a lot of practice and I got a new Craftmans Plunge router with LED lights. The new router is 1/2 the weight of my other beast, and the lights help a lot. The new craftsman has a nice smooth plunge movement as well.
Now my issue is the size. I purchased a Rocker 1/2" shaft straight plunge bit. The specs said it has a 1/4" cut diameter; when I cut a dado, it is smaller then 1/4".
Not by much, but a "off the shelf" slider or T-Track does not fit. Then I have to run another cut which allays winds up wider then I want.
Is this unique to this bit ? or something else ..
Thanks - Fred
