The bevelled teeth will form the shoulder\r\n\tof the dado, slicing cleanly across the grain of the wood. The\r\n\tflat-topped teeth will square out the bottom corners of the\r\n\tdado.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tIt is important that the bevels are running down towards the\r\n\tinside of the stack like in the photo below. If they are put on\r\n\tbackwards, the corners of the dado will not be cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tDepending on the width of the groove, rabbit or dado that\r\n\tneeds to be cut, select the correct size chipper\/s and shim\/s.\r\n\tThe total width of the outer blades, selected chipper\/s, and\r\n\tshim\/s, i.e., the total dado stack should be equal to the\r\n\twidth of the groove, rabbit or dado that needs to be cut.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tStart by installing the left outer blade against the arbor\r\n\twasher of the saw. If a shim is being used, this will go on\r\n\tnext, followed by one of the chippers. The chipper's teeth\r\n\tshould sit between two teeth of the outside blade and not\r\n\tbe touching them. The teeth are wide enough that they\r\n\toverlap one another, so be sure there is no contact between\r\n\tany of the blades.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tAdd a 2nd shim (if necessary) and then another chipper,\r\n\tfollowed by another shim and chipper, depending on the\r\n\ttotal width of the cut required. Stagger the chippers so that\r\n\tthey are an equal distance apart. This will help balance the\r\n\tdado stack and prevent any vibration from too much weight\r\n\ton one side.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tLastly, the right outer blade can go on. Try to line up the\r\n\tbevelled teeth side by side so that it is easier to get an\r\n\taccurate measurement with the calipers after the complete\r\n\tstack is added together.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tTighten the arbour nut finger tight at this point and rotate\r\n\tthe dado stack by hand to verify that there is no contact\r\n\tbetween the teeth. Once everything looks good, tighten the\r\n\tdado stack firmly with the arbour wrenches.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTips for using shims:\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tShims allow you to fine tune the width of the dado set so\r\n\t\tyou can get as close as possible to the size you need, usually\r\n\t\twithin a few fractions of a millimeter. They can also present\r\n\t\ta few problems.\r\n\t\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tBecause they are so thin, they tend to fall into the threads\r\n\t\tof the saw's arbor and prevent the stack from closing\r\n\t\tproperly when tightened.\r\n\t\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tTo prevent this, add a couple of drops of light machine oil\r\n\t\tor WD40 to one side of the shim and then center it on the\r\n\t\tblade.

When using a lot of shims, it\r\n\t\tis best to distribute them evenly between the dado blades.\r\n\t\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tOnce the dado blade is locked down, it is time to make a test\r\n\tcut in a scrap piece of wood, to see where you are at.
