My Free Plans: paskmakes.com/free-plans/
This little tool is easy to make and works extremely well. If you want to make perfect dados on the tablesaw then a simple kerfmaker is the way to go. You can certainly make a much nicer looking one but if you're not worried about aesthetics (not that this one looks bad but there are some very nice looking ones around) then this one is perfectly functional and is very easy to make.
As always I'm happy to answer any questions.

I've seen other KZfaqrs make/use these. But never really understood their explanation. Yours was clear, simple, practical and made sense! Thank you.

I have done some woodworks in the past but this woodwork plan kzfaq.infoUgkxZF0EMnrujZvqHhGkxiz559uIABJWR9TG helps me do much in a far lesser time than i used to do i have already built several projects with this plan and i intend to do many more soon. Thank you so much!

Those 300 thumbs down were from people selling their own tools on Ebay for big money... lol. 3 pieces of wood a wing nut and a two screws? Yeah, they were making bank.

KZfaq suggests videos based on the types of videos watched. So I wasn't surprised when KZfaq suggested I watch some other kerf maker videos. I have to say cobber, "Your kerfmaker video is hands-down THE-BEST-VIDEO-OUT THERE I HAVE SEEN SO FAR! BAR NONE!" I reiterate, bar none! Simple, to the point, and easy to use. Not too simple and not too complex. Spot-freaking-on! Thank you 😍

I just made this. It works like a beauty! So simple, yet so effective. Pro tip, plane down the side that will take the wing-nut, so the top side is just proud of the bottom. This will allow the washer to get a really good squeeze on the top half.

Thank you for this video. The design is simple, effective, and doable. After blowing up/flinging my first one with a cheap rabbeting bit I made a second try and got a nice one that didn't try to blind or maim me. A couple of tests to dial it in and I am SO pleased with it. I was able to cut 6 long dados with it to build my daughter a bunch of picture frame ledges. Nailed them all on the first try. Thanks so much. This thing *rocks*.

Thank you. I've made many mistakes on dados over the years -- too tight, too loose. I was thinking about buying the BCTW KM-1 commercial Kerfmaker, but (a) it's out of stock at Amazon; and (b) more than $50 when they DID have it. It's $61 direct from BCTW. The KM-2 is even pricier. I don't believe they're worth it, no matter how well made. Your little DIY kerfmaker works just as well, and it was FREE -- I already had all the stuff I needed to construct one. Works like a champ. One possible improvement: Use a wood-screw with very fine threads for the kerf-adjustment -- easier to make very fine, precise adjustments.

I am an amateur woodworker, yet I could easily understand how to make the kerfmaker. And guess what, it worked the 1st time. I made 1 improvement, and that was to rough up the underside of the washer; gives a better grip on the jig. You are also good to listen to, with a no nonsense approach.
