Blade Tilt/Bevel Cuts; Dado Cutting - Grizzly G0605X Owner's Manual

Blade Tilt/Bevel cuts

When the blade tilt stop bolts are properly adjust-
ed (page 50), the blade tilt handwheel allows
the operator to tilt the blade to the left, anywhere
between 0° and 45°. this is used most often when
cutting bevels, compound miters or chamfers.
figure 46 shows an example of the blade when
tilted to 45°.

Dado cutting

Commonly used in furniture joinery, a dado is a
straight channel cut in the face of the workpiece.
dadoes can be cut using either a dedicated dado
blade or a standard saw blade. the optional dado
insert, model h9910, (see page 43) must be
installed during dado cutting.
the table saw motor is pushed to its limits when
making a dado cut. if the motor starts to bog
down, slow down your feed rate and make mul-
tiple shallow passes.
Dado operations require proper procedures
to avoid serious injury. Extra care must be
taken to prevent kickback when using dado
blades. Any movement of the workpiece
away from the fence will cause kickback. Be
certain that stock is flat and straight. failure
to follow these warnings could result in
serious personal injury.
DO NOT make a through-cut with a dado
blade. Dado blades are not designed for
through cuts. failure to follow this warning
could result in serious personal injury.
