July 20, 20179 yr Popular Post 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.
July 20, 20179 yr 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.
July 20, 20179 yr Thanks Keith...may have to make one in my "free time." Just saw Micro-jig brought out a version of this... Woodcraft-MicroJig Matchfit
July 20, 20179 yr 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.

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???
July 21, 20179 yr 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.
