Hi Dale, Thanks for your reply. I have a few questions. That makes sense. What is a router plane? Is that a straight bit that cleans up edges? so, if I want to use a router, would I clamp a 2x4 on both sides of the dado and just make multiple passes until the dado is cut? Also, do I need to cut less than a quarter inch deep with each pass? I must admit that I usually set the router to the depth that I am wanting and doing it with one pass. That is not a good idea is it? Can you recommend how I can keep from messing up the ends of wood with a router? I heard that it is possible to attach scraps of wood at the ends to keep from messing it up. But I don't know how this is done. Thanks, Keith

I don't believe though that the arbor is designed to accept a dado cutting set but you could cut each side then plow out the middle either by repeated passes of the saw shifting the board slightly between passes or by making a few passes and cleaning out the middle with a chisel or router plane. When I need only one dado I commonly cut it this way with my table saw. The main limitation though is the width of cut, probably not more than 12 inches on a miter saw.
