I just got my TSO GRS-16PE and the next 3 projects all require a ton of dadoes, so discovering this video is perfect serendipity. Thanks Dave! I'm making 3-4 of these very soon!

Hi Christopher Hawn! They work brilliantly.

I just made one to try it out, cut a handful of dadoes, and found it does indeed work brilliantly! I found, too that you must choose your router base well, or else the handle may interfer with the clip on the TSO jig. Anyway, thanks for the detailed instructions! This jig is a keeper!

Great idea! You can make ones for different sizes of router bits. Or add a 1/4" ply or lexan to the top and you have the perfect support for setting up your cross cuts with your TS55. No dipping of the rail. And thanks for giving me the technical term for lifting up the rail to make sure it is straight across your cut. I'll be using flcky flicky from now on.

Finally. Something I actually have all of the tools for. Make my own fluted trim pieces with this method or other? If other is there ine recommended with the of1400 abd festool track?
@DavidStanton4 жыл бұрын
Interesting point William Smith. You could use the festool router and track follower for the flutes or you could just use a different cutter and this method.

Hi David, you are using your router the wrong way. If you use a guide, you should use de round edge of your router and not the flat side. The round side has exactly the same distance at any point the egde to the middle of the router bit. That way, it doesn't matter if you rotate your router as long as the round edge keeps in touch of your guide. Keep up the good work! Rob
@DavidStanton4 жыл бұрын
Hi Rob v. H. I understand your reasoning for your comment but use the flat on purpose because there is less chance of sawdust becoming lodged between the guide and the base plate.

David, why go through all this effort and put holes in an expensive accessory and not be able to use it for its intended purpose, i.e. squaring the guide rail to the work? Knowing I wanted to make long dados and rebates I included the Makita router guide rail adapter (194579-2) with my Makita guide rail purchase.

I was always taught to run a router along a straight edge using the round bit of its base so that if you get a bit of a twist on then you don't mess your line up. I see a lot of blokes on youtube doing it this way. Am I doing it wrong all these years?
@DavidStanton4 жыл бұрын
Hi Tim Smyth! I used to use the round of the base plate also but found small bits of dust from the router easily jambed between the straight edge and base plate because it was such a fine "wedge" as the router passed along and rode over the dust creating bumps. I use the flat because the angle of approach is a lot steeper and dust tends to be pushed along in front of the base plate instead of the base plate riding over it and away from the straight edge. Do what ever way works for you.
@Tommy_0072 жыл бұрын
I have never used a router (but have watched many router videos). So this is a theoretical question: Why is it difficult to achieve the same result with just the guide rail?
@rbrown29252 жыл бұрын
The square ensures the guide rail is square to the wood (of course) but the square alone doesn't leave any space for the router bit to start.

Checking the diagonals tells you they are parallel...if they aren't parallel then the diagonals will NOT be the same measure.
@DavidStanton4 жыл бұрын
Interesting point Michael Jameson. The dados are definitely parallel dependent of course on the edge of the sheet of ply being dead straight. I always trim the edge of my sheets with the track saw prior to ripping to width, so all good, dead on 90 degrees to the edge.

Just curious, but why don't you just use the straight edge of your router? Unless it doesn't have that. If you used the 1010 or 1400, you wouldn't have to mix and match other brands and you'd get 109% accuracy without fiddling around. Respectfully 😅
