Most videos claim simple & the go on to make some fancy pants jig with T-tracks & sliding parts but you really just show the most perfect quick easy way I’ve seen. Thankyou
I don't use 2 pieces for a jig. I use 1 straight edge clamped to my piece, compensate for the distance from my bit to the edge of the router base and route it.
I had done it that way in the past, but it relies on the accuracy on your compensation, I always felt like there had to be a better way. Thanks for the comment!
A track saw could be effective at cutting the depth but is limited to just a standard blade kerf per pass. It would take multiple passes and would be difficult and time consuming to achieve the desired width. If you didn't get the track lined up perfectly parallel one end of the dado could be loose and the other too tight. Just my opinion. I hope that answer makes sense.
I suppose a track saw can't do that first cut that doesn't go all the way to the end.....but other than that it depends on what is more accurate. I've never used either. @@sawdustandslivers4102
Thanks for the input, I was so fixated the content and delivery of the explanation of this method I didn't even notice the wonky camera focus during 2 minute the intro to the content. I will definitely strive and correct that in future videos!

Thanks! That was my goal in this video to present the simplicity of this method.
Thsnks. Simple and effective, a rare combination.
Thank you, I'm glad you found this helpful!
Simple method, well presented. Thank you, I can use this!
Thank you, I'm glad you found it useful!
Great video, going to try this method. Keep up the good work!
Awesome! Thank you!
Now THIS is a keeper! Thanks for the vid.
You bet! Thank you for commenting!
I like this idea. I think I'll try doing this for rabbets as well for larger pieces.
Thanks, I did that on the second project on the video. I just didn't showcase that. I appreciate the comment!
Very nice video, good job!
Thanks! I'm still trying to figure out good video/audio recording and editing aside from the actually woodworking. I appreciate the comment!
Well done!
Thank you! I was very happy with the ease of this method. I appreciate you taking time to comment!
I'm a newbie! I appreciate your approach. I'm learning woodworking as I recover from back surgery. Happy New Year! @@sawdustandslivers4102
Great idea. Can't wait to try this.
Awesome, thanks for taking time to comment!
excellent, I'm glad I watch it. Perhaps a couple of straight edge clamping guides would be faster?
That could work well, it's just quick and cheap to use scrap wood. Thanks for watching!!
Really like the simplicity of this, appreciate the detailed explanation, what size is the flush trim pattern bit.
Glad it was helpful! The bit I used is 1/2"
Great tips!
Thank you!
Excellent thanks
Glad you liked it!
Is this one of those router bits with a bearing to ride on your make shift fence?
Yes, It's a template router bit.
Nice video, the person complaining about the auto focus could have just nicely told you to fix it. Didn’t keep me from watching, thanks for the tip

From a total noob - why not use a track saw set to a specific depth?

Maybe I should invest in a router.
thx
Dados?
Hah! I just saw the typo, I have the title correct, but I will correct the thumbnail spelling tonight. Thanks for pointing it out.
Gave up after 15 seconds. Please fix (or turn off) your autofocus -- the constant re-adjusting makes the video unwatchable.
