3/16" dado problem

Grover · 2008-05-04T09:45:59+00:00

Needed to cut groove in front/back/sides for captive drawer bottoms -outfitting van... using 3/16" masonite for drawer bottom.Tried my Sears dado set - used 1 regular blade (1/8") and the 1/16chipper plus one cardboard spacer. Worked, but lots of smoke - chipperside of sandwich just burned wood!Never tried for a groove narrower than 1/4" (both blades) - what did Ido wrong? Better way?Thanks for comments and suggestions...Grov

Use your belt sander to take that 1.438 down to size. Won't take long with

40 grit.
