    Introduction to Dado Sets

    Though they may not be as flashy as some other joints, dados, rabbets and grooves are staples in a woodworker’s repertoire. These joints can be made many ways, but by far the most common is using a dado set on a table saw. Master how to use a dado set and you’ll be well on your way to creating strong, lasting furniture.
