July 20, 20179 yr Popular Post comment_117213 Just ran across this video, I'm going to have to try it. The other technique I've seen is to make two L-shaped jigs, Put one on each side of a board to be dadoed. Put your piece to fit in the dado between them and slide them together and clamp in place. Then with a router with a top bearing, zero clearance bit less than but at least half the size of the dado, run across one side and back the other. Report
July 20, 20179 yr comment_117219 I've been meaning to make one of these. Looks like a good time to start. Report
July 20, 20179 yr comment_117220 Seems to me this would also work with dado blade: use the jig to define the sides, then hog out the center without having to fiddle with dado blade width. Report
July 20, 20179 yr comment_117310 Thanks Keith...may have to make one in my "free time." Just saw Micro-jig brought out a version of this... Woodcraft-MicroJig Matchfit Report
July 20, 20179 yr comment_117368 I'm a sucker for gadgets and gizmos. Bought the original Bridge City version and recently, the Microjig version. The Microjig is easier to use, I think. Report

Just having fun and dreaming, Gerald...there's no free time around the "Poor Farm" here except maybe from midnight to 6 AM...doing nothing then but sleeping except for 2-3 trips to the "facilities." I haven't ordered one yet, but in the link you can order from Woodcraft...If you click on the Woodcraft link from TPW homepage, I think TPW get's "credit" for the origination. In your neck of the woods, I would imagine Peachtree and Highland Woodworker also carry? Not sure where Gene ordered his from...Highland maybe??? Report
July 21, 20179 yr comment_117398 Gerald, due to my heavy use, I have an automatically recurring order with Amazon for "Free Time". Thanks for the reminder. I've been needing to up the quantities for a while, now. Report
