jahill5 Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 Good Evening, I am working on a fairly simple project. It is a set of trivets. The design is pulled from Nick Engler's Weekend Projects by Rodale Press. The design is similar to the attached photo (stolen from the internet, not my work). I am having trouble getting a clean bottom on the dado cuts. It seems that my stack is leaving a fairly decent mess at the bottom of the cut. This has never been a problem, as the bottom has never been visible in my other projects. Attempts to sand have not turned out so well. Does anyone have a suggestion either for a blade (I don't need a loan to buy) that will leave a cleaner cut, or for another way to clean this up?

lewisc Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 I was shown this video for the routing technique which looks to be the same as what you're trying to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
