I know, I know, questions, questions, sorry but what else to you do while waiting for glue to dry??
Here it is. I have the Frend dado set with the metal shims.. You guessed it, my shims are buggered up because they get down in the threads and when I tighten the stack, it fixes them good. I was looking for a new set of shims and came across magnetic ones. Are they any good? and how hard is it to figure which ones to use because they don't come in the same thickness I currently have?
Sorry, I lied, that was two questions.
Just a comment, I have a Craftsman, I think it is called a wobbler, you know, one blade, that you turn the thingy in the middle and it offsets the blade so it wobbles back and forth to the thickness you want. Everyone said they were worthless, but I've always been able to cut just as good dado with it as I have with the Frend setup. Maybe I should as bad a dado, maybe I have trouble getting good dados with the Frend because of the screwed up shims,,,
