Almost all "Lifetime Guarantees" are deceptive... The consumer often assumes it refers to their lifetime, when in fact it refers to the lifetime of the product. In other words, "we guarantee this will work, until it dies."
Definitely do NOT install the third chipper back into a 90 degree position that is even with the first one! The third chipper is installed at a 45 degree to the first.
Nate, thank you for your presentation, I'm very new to woodworking and like the way you explain the use of the dado blades. I just bought a set and hope to try them this weekend. By the way, I like the dry humor- when you least expect it.
Sorry that's not the way I was taught to set up a dado set. When I was hurt on how to set them up the chippers always went 90 degrees was one of each other if you use two of them if you use three of them you fell right in between where you got that long big gaping hole between the outer blades I could be wrong I'm no expert
Got my sub. You’re down to earth, friendly, don’t take yourself too seriously, and actually kinda funny; not forced. Question. Followed the instruction to a T, got my calipers out, and I’m not at the width advertised/instructed… thoughts?
I really think your video is great, very helpful!! I recently made a cross cut sled for my table saw, which works great. Last week, I purchased the Diablo Dado Stack, and thought I would like to make dado sled. What are your thoughts??
I was trying to dado across maple plywood and the splintering was terrible,,i even taped where the dado cut was going to be and it was terrible,,any advice to help me would be appreciated
That can be tricky. It may be overkill but try using 1/4 thick plywood instead of tape to prevent tearout and use a zero clearance throat plate ➡️ ua-cam.com/video/WtHDBpKyJlo/v-deo.html
I paused the video at 2.5 minutes to see if anyone else commented about this. 150 seconds in and I still have no idea about dado blades or how to install/use them. Found another video that gets right to the point.
I know this is an old video. But, this is dangerous business, and you should let us know whether you got your info from Diablo or if you just decided that this is the right way to stack it. I never heard you mention any kind of source for your info. It seems you have the exact stack that I bought from Home Depot. There's nothing in the package that tells you how to do it. People are searching for videos that will show them the proper way. As far as I can tell, you are just telling us what seems right to you. But you're passing it off as the "correct" way.
The instructions I used were the instructions that are provided with the dado stack. There is a circular card stock paper with a sizing guide. The instructions are located on the reverse side.
The included instructions are garbage, and I suspect the same vague language used for other tooth count/chipper style configurations. All they say is to orient "every other" chipper 90*. Where to land the chipper in relation to outer blades is also useless - they say to position the chipper tooth "between the two gaps in the outer blade"???
Good video, well explained! He's set it up correctly as stated in the instructions.(rotate each chipper 90° to the last)...Not to be insulting, but this IS dangerous business and if you haven't bothered to thoroughly read the instructions then maybe you shouldn't be using a dado stack at all. This guy took the tone to make a great video for people that are to lazy to read 1 paragraph instructions, and all you can do is chastise him. SMH...
I have used adjustable and stacked dado sets for years, and the only tablesaw that could not use them was a small portable one from Sears. What is so special about the Diablo Stacked Dado Set? I'm betting it is no different from the old ones I owned and used. I'm also betting before I even watch this video that you will not be revealing anything I do not already know about dado sets or how to use them. I'll update this message after watching. Update: OK, as promised, I watched the video, and as I thought, you showed me nothing I did not already know. My dado sets were different in that the cutters stacked between the outside blades were a bit different. The principle is still the same though. As for the lifetime guarantee, that depends on what brand you buy. My brands always had the real lifetime guarantee. That does not include sharpening the teeth, or replacing old worn out teeth. I had a man I was dealing with who had all the proper equipment to keep my professional blades in good shape, and he did excellent work for me. My Dado sets did not need shims, because there were different widths of cutters in each set. Now about adjustable dado blades. The one I had was adjusted by a built in dial system you twisted to make the blade the correct width. I set up tyoo much vibration in my Delta Tablesaw.
Cuts ok , BUT if your table saw doesn’t have a way to lock the arbor to tighten or loosen the arbor nut ( older Powermatic 66) then good luck trying to tighten the arbor nut because that pretty red slick coating makes the blade just spin between the arbor flanges when you try to tighten , so this blade sucks in my humble opinion

Love your Arbor you made. You explain things very well. Enjoyed your video thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
Copy that ... good prop ...

I just bought the avant dado set which diablo owns and my instructions say to put the washers on the outer blades
The chippers go 90 apart then 45 for last one
Thats what I was thinking
Sorry that's not the way I was taught to set up a dado set.

Not right at all. See Ken's comment. Do not follow this guy directions. This is a good way to break a tooth and risk serious injury.

😢
WHEVER YOU WANT blades !! I like that !! Great video !
LOL ...wherever you want blades. Thanks man, informative and funny.
Bla bla blaaaass
Really
Dude stop talking
I really think your video is great, very helpful!! I recently made a cross cut sled for my table saw, which works great. Last week, I purchased the Diablo Dado Stack, and thought I would like to make dado sled. What are your thoughts??
It's a great idea. The sled would be the same just your opening would be bigger.
I've stacked my blades exactly as you've done but when I tightened down, only slightly, it binds my motor. What am I doing wrong?
I'm sorry I don't know what is going on with your saw.
Your speech is scary😏
I watched another video on this Dado thing I didn't get as much info as you Thanks 👍.
Glad it was helpful!
thanks for the video. More concise delivery of your information will help your videos go further!
I appreciate your feed back
Excellent tutorial thanks for sharing
I was trying to dado across maple plywood and the splintering was terrible,,i even taped where the dado cut was going to be and it was terrible,,any advice to help me would be appreciated

Make a new zero clearance insert and make sure its set to proper height :)
You know if this fit dwalt 8 1/4 disk
Sorry IDK
does the chipper have direction?
yes
Good finely video thanks
Glad you liked it
You told us the blades are red. I guess that would help if I was color blind, which I'm not.
Glad to hear it will at least be helpful to someone. 😉
@@natelarge Your video was good. You are a joker, and I was just joking. Keep up the good work.
This video should be three minutes long.
I paused the video at 2.5 minutes to see if anyone else commented about this. 150 seconds in and I still have no idea about dado blades or how to install/use them. Found another video that gets right to the point.
Just because you are too stupid to figure how how to use a dado by yourself doesn't mean that everyone has to expedite things for you....
