SplinterGroup .... I find discipline to be the cure for that.
Nothing wrong with discipline, however, when the welts dissipate, I still cant find those bloody shims. I have more chance of dropping 10 shims and not finding all of them than the dial blade, whose oopsie could sever a big toe... just ask the surgeon to return it.
RyanGi ..... My biggest issue is that my arbor is too short (a common complaint among middle aged males)
Just middle aged males?... bragger!
RyanGi ..... I stack my dados on the bench and clamp them together, then slip the stack on the arbor and tighten down the nut, then release the clamps. It works most of the time
I bought the 'peckers jig, which basically actually does what you are saying. It just looks prettier than anything I would have whipped up out of MDF. While I reckon it's great, I could have achieved it with some large bolts, fender washers and an accurate set of calipers.
If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD
