mortise inserts slideshow

[MICHAEL MORVAN]

Clear DayFenton,
    I wouldn't get a wobbler, my father-in-law had one and it cut unpredictably, I have a nice stackable set, it cuts clean and straight, if you use the table saw make sure your crosslide/t-square is exactly 90 degrees to the saw blade and that the saw blade is 90 degrees to the table, your only as accurate as your setup.  Good  luck,   Mike

  Any particular brand/type of dado you'd recommend. My early experience with wobblers turned me off to them and I've never used them since. 
  I assume you end up with a flat, machined, glue joint ready surface left behind by the dado. If that's the case I can see a future for them with me.
  Thanks,
  Fenton

    Question: I know I could use a router instead of a dado blade for stock removal, but I just can't help but think of nasty tearout in that key with the dado set up. I assume you don't have that problem, do you use it simply for fast removal reasons?

    Hi Fenton,

    I just recently tried out the dado for a set of balance hole inserts and found there was way less tear-out than with a router. I was very pleased; didn't even have to back the work up. You also have more options for the width by adding or subtracting dado shims.

    Nice work, Mike!

      Mike,
      I figured out the slide show, I didn't scroll down far enough on the page. I'll be ordering soon off your site. Great photos, thanks for your time in this.
