Okay.. I just ruined some oak plywood while trying to cut a dado in it. I scribed the cut on both sides before cutting it, and I ran it through nice and slow.. and it still tore the vaneer off the plywood.. it splintered the edge badly.. what did I do wrong..??
I am using 3/4" oak plywood, and cutting a dado 3/4" wide, by 3/8 deep. with a Freud dado set.. the set is new.. maybe a dozen cuts on half the blades..??
Could it be old stock plywood maybe.. or maybe I never scored it deep enough.. or maybe it was the loose nut behind the saw..
Ruined my sheet anyway.. at $80.00 a sheet.. I don't want to do that to often..
Any ideas would be appreciated ..
