I'm looking for tips on cutting half laps with a dado blade on my table saw. The saw lives in a friend's garage and I haven't installed the rails and fence because I don't need them for the outdoor projects I've building.
My problem is sneaking up on the cut lines for these half laps since I can't see them because they're turned down when doing the cutting. Careful as I am sneaking up on the turned down cut lines, occasionally, I've cut too much off which is a pain. Anybody got any tips for cutting these without going to the effort of installing the rails and fence to use with a start off reference block against the fence?
Thanks
