Quickly set up your Dado Stop with pinpoint accuracy.
Strengths and benefits
Fast, accurate setups for blade kerf, dado stop, bit depth, and blade height.
Record your blade’s actual kerf (including runout) by trimming it into the Setup Gauge. This serves as a template to set up your Dado Stop for a fast, precise dado cut. Best of all—there's no dado blade required.
Blade kerf template for precise Dado Stop setup.
Record blade/saw combination for future reference.
11/32” blade height gauge for cutting relief grooves on table saw.
3/8” depth gauge for setting dovetail router bit cutting depth.
Setup dados in a fraction of the time: 1 - Cut a scrap piece of MDF to template on side of your kerf. Without moving the fence, clamp the Setup Gauge to a crosscut sled, contacting the cut piece. 2 - Set blade height to the center of the notch. Remove MDF piece and push Setup Gauge through the cut. 3 - The material trimmed out is an exact replica of the blade’s kerf, including runout. The resulting gap is used to account for the kerf when setting Leg 2 of the Dado Stop.
