I'm doing my first handcut through dovetails. While working away at chiseling out the meat between the pins, I was thinking how much faster a stacked dado would be. I finished the task using the dado and cleaned it up with a chisel...it seemed to work out fine, and I probably could have done the entire task with the dado set and a miter gauge. Anyone else use a dado for dovetails? Any drawbacks I missed?
p.s. The "petrified celery" characteristics of red elm make it a poor choice for the handcut dovetails!
