Wouldn't a stop-block on the fence have been safer for cutting the dado? Sliding a piece along the fence while trying to keep it square to the miter gauge can be problematic. I understand that you have a premium miter gauge and you were only working on small pieces. But with a slightly bigger piece or a cheap-o miter gauge you could get yourself in kickback-town pretty quickly.
How many people own a "keyway key"? Showing how-to videos with very specialized tools is not a very good instructional technique. Very fine furniture etc has been built in the past without these fancy tools.
Hello and thanks for the tips on a locking Rabbet. I'm a beginner, but have working in a wood shop using hydro-saws for miter cuts. I purchase a little home table saw for hobby and would like use this "locking rabbet" system on a shadow box I'm building. Is this possible? Thanks for the posting...
A sacrificial fence is used when the table saw blade is running right up against the fence. You don't want it rubbing against the actual fence or it could damage your fence and dull your blade. A side benefit of this setup is that you can use it to saw off less than the thickness of the blade (dado or regular), by bringing the saw into the sacrificial fence. You'd do this by setting the fence location with the blade down, starting the saw, then raise the spinning blade into your fence.
Don't you think passing back over the dado toward yourself was a little risky and dangerous. The initial pass cuts completely, the return cut seems ignorant of the dangers.
Rob I Thanks for the reply. I had forgotten about this comment. I had to review to make sure I was not seeing things. The artifact occurs at 6:18 not 6:21. If you play the video at 0.25 speed you can see two + occurs at 6:17-6:18 lower half of the image.

Aye get ur fuckin safety glasses on and don’t draw the shit back across the blade. Once it’s cut it’s cut. Nice vid tho dog
should have a lot more comments.. your instructions for build the lock joint are are Perfecto. you did not skip steps and were very though.
wish I could afford all this posh power kit you guys in the US have it must cost thousands
I'll have to make do with a tenon saw an a few chisels
+Lee B Lee that's why it's called the good old US of A
craig nelson is it ? machine made joinery how wonderfully satisfying
could that a strongest joint to join a coffin box using 1" X 8" stock?
Great to see that woodprix has new instructions to save my money and energy to build it.
Perfect

That joint seems to be very fussy. I don't want to spend all day making one joint.
Is there a quicker way to make a lock-rabbet?
A little late, but, yes. Search for Quarter-Quarter-Quarter Drawer System. One set-up for all drawers.

Great video, thank you.
very good and nice work and fit together. thank you
Why do you use a sacrificial fence?
Whoa!!! Is that a steel rule you're whacking that carbide tooth with at ~2:26~?!?!?
This shop probably sharpens more blades in a week, than you do in a year.
This is a working shop, not a pretty hobby shop
I don't have a hobby shop, so-to-speak, it's more of a skunkworks-type lab where proofs-of-concepts are born.
6:21. What causes the spark?
That was sawdust. Not a spark.
