<DIV><FONT color=#000000>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?

<DIV><STRONG>Hi Fenton,</STRONG></FONT></DIV></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#000000><STRONG>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.</STRONG></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#000000>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. </FONT></DIV>
