With my TS, I need to make some crosscut 1" wide dados in a 1" diam dowel, about 6" long. The dados will be about 3/8" deep. I have a Freud stacked blade dado set. I am concerned that once the teeth engage the dowel, the dowel will start spinning. At least it will tend to spin. Even with some small rubber-footed clamps I am not sure it will hold. To anyone who has done this, is the torque a substantial concern? Any suggestions as to how to do this safely? TIA. -- Igor
