What blade for tablesaw box joints?

One that your local saw blade sharpener recommends and sharpens for that purpose. Mine sold me one for about $60, including the penalty^H^H^H^Hsales taxes we Californians pay for the privilege of living in this shaky land.

Not to mention looking at the "beautiful people".

Use a blade from your dado set.

Are you making fun of the Governator?

Someday, we'll straighten things out. Otherwise, Oregon and Washington will have a severe housing shortage. ;-)

Not at all. You really do have the "Beautiful People". You don't think they could have filmed "Baywatch" here in Connecticut, do you?

I work with women who think Donald Trump is good looking without his wallet.

I've got a triple-chip Freud on my table saw, and it leaves a pretty flat bottom on the kerf. If you're not familiar with the triple chip style, it is similar to a rip blade, but every other tooth has the corners ground off and is ten thousandths higher than the rip teeth. The theory is that the triple chip tooth does the hogging out, and the rip tooth cleans up the kerf. I'm a big fan of them, personally.

Fine, if you like replacing your steak with cotton candy ...

Actually, "meat with eyes" comes to mind with some of those folks.

Personally, I would use a dado set and have "fingers" the width of the dado setting.

That said, chipout should not be a concern, as that han be handled with backer board.

LOL ... and with choppers that blind.

There's a new series, on Discovery or TLC, called "Sheer Dallas", which seems to indicate that the phenomenon is not entirely limited to SoCal. The promos were sufficient for me to put it on the 'long list'.

The Lynn's jig is the bomb man ! I made one too and really like being able to use my 1/8" blade for any width and any height - in fact, I can do variable spacing if I want to. Using the standard jig, any error is cummulative, with the Lynn Jig, you can adjust it out on each finger. I don't even do any test cuts anymore.

Don,

What blade do you use with your Lynn?

Sid

I'm familiar with TCG blades. Specifically, which Freud blade are you describing?

Sid

Do you have a working link to the jig plans? Everything Google turns up is not found.

Thanks!

Found it - Yahoo search turned up

Do any of you guys have the plans for the Lynn's Box Jig? I've googled for the plans and all of the results point to netexperts which appears to be defunct. Could someone post them up to a web site somewhere or to the binaries group for download?

Thanks,

The one I've got is a 60 tooth Freud industrial "Heavy-Duty all-purpose" blade with a 10 degree hook. It's got an eighth inch kerf, and while it doesn't leave a perfectly flat bottom, it's pretty close. I don't have a saw with a long enough arbor for a dado stack yet, so I use this one, and make several passes. The two tiny ledges on either side of the cut come out very easily with a hand file or a sharp chisel. I cut about 40 dadoes with the thing today (set of bedside tables in maple and butternut, for the curious), and it worked like a charm- no chip-out at all. Aut inveniam viam aut faciam
