NOTE:
• When widths slightly greater than the above are
required, fit the paper washers in between the inside
and outside cutters to adjust the width.
5. Arrange the cutters so that the tips of the inside cut-
ters are positioned at the gullets of the outside cutter.
When more than one inside cutter is used, space
the tips of the inside cutters equidistantly in relation
to one another. Poorly spaced cutters may cause
vibration and noise.
When installing two outside cutters without any inside
cutter, be sure that the cutter tips do not face each
other.
6. While tightening the hex nut, be careful to maintain the
even spacing between the tips of the inside cutters.
7. Rotate the dado head one turn by hand to make sure
that it does not contact anything before operation.
When dadoing, use featherboards. The diagram shown
illustrates dimensions for making a typical featherboard.
It should be made from a straight piece of wood that is
free of knots or cracks.
