I wish I could just wing it! The pain is going to be making dato's in long *** boards with no help.

 

Do you have a set of blades for your table saw or do you use a router to make them, Lou?

 

Both but I'll probably use the table saw. Not sure I have the right bit for 3/4 plywood.

 

Your right. I should buy a router bit for datoing the plywood.

 

A router is so much easier to control, particularly since you are a one man show.

 

Lou, a dado blade on a table saw or a bit in the router and a router table.

 

You are right Mick. Told the wife this was going to be a $900 job. There is some room for new router bits.

 

Lou, thirty some years ago when I built all the cabinets for the family room, I used my radial arm saw because that's all I had. I could do everything on that saw, sometimes dangerously. When i got a table saw it opened up a whole new world.

 

I need to make a router table. Only so much room in my 8x6 she'd. Someday it will be so nice to have a workshop.

 

My poor Bosch table saw has seen better days. It was my first power tool. The plastic frame is breaking. I've had it for 20 years and half of that it has had to live outside. It's a beater now.
