How To Make A Kerf Maker | Exact Width Dado Jig
Рет қаралды 8,231
3 жыл бұрынSo you want to know how to make perfect dados on the table saw? And to have those dados the perfect width every time? Well, then this is the tool for you! This project was sparked by the fact one of my last projects (How to make a plant stand) really could have used this kerf maker. If you watch that video, you'll see why.
And this little tool can also make half lap joints and rabbet joints!
Even if you have a dado stack, there may be times when you can't use it or just don't feel like setting it up. Being that this perfect width dado jig is pretty easy to make, there's really no excuse not to make one.
And you would like the drawings so you can make one just like this feel free to download them for free from my website - ltdwoodworks.com

I think this is the best design I have seen. Well thought out and easy to build.

Yep, even I was surprised at how easy it was to make. I bet if I didn't film the build it would have taken way less than a hour to make. Thanks for watching!

superb explanation and realistic video. Thank you!

This is a good idea. I've been working with wood for a long time and never seen one of these. I always use a dado set and pin in a saw sled. For small jobs this rules. Thank you for a great idea and video. God bless.

I have watched a lot of you tube Videos on kerf making. I found yours easy to follow and like you had an off cut of T- track so made one to your design. Very impressed with the result as it works well once tuned in. Also took your advice and made mine halfway through a project so as to use it and not put it into the make later basket. Thanks again for a good video.

There are so many of these kerf makers on the market from the really expensive ones by manufacturers like the one from Bridge City Tool works which looks really well made to the Chinese knock offs. There are also some really nice designs here on You Tube. Some like the one by Tamar 3 x 3 custom is pretty fancy smancy ( a technical term). This is by far my favorite design because the main parts are just a nice piece of hard wood that most of us have laying around, and also a small piece of left over t track. Who doesn't love a clean and simple design? Great job!

Well someone did. There's many versions of this but I just wanted to share my build on it. Thanks for watching! Hope all is well out in Hawaii!

You moved the piece of wood after the first cut, that's why it was to loose. Greetings from Germany.

Very cool! I have heard the term "kerf maker" a few times in the last few weeks but I didn't really know what it was until now. Thanks for sharing. Now I'm headed over to find your drill press table contraption. I have been needing one of those and am trying to gather various ideas as to how to build mine. Thanks again for taking the time to film, edit and share your knowledge. :-)
