You can use normal dado bits as blind dado bits if you close your eyes while cutting

No probs, happy to assist. I don't want to be accused of putting up silly posts

I hang my head in shame.

Whilst I thought I could come up with as silly an answer as anyone, I find I am in the company of King Silly and his troup of silly Billy's.

Silly me.

i use my triton router under the table and my old makita 3600br for handheld. its great to have it out of the table fulltime again at last. while i am very impressed with the triton router itself ive found the fence arrangement for freehand work to be a piece of $h!t. the subbase warps when you tighten the fence clamps. have any other users noticed this?

Now that is silly, you can't re-saw if it hasn't been sawn. And for sawing you need a TS.

And we all know that a TS is the centrepiece of a shop so I prefer one with a round table top so it can be in the centre.

As in another thread helpful advice was considered silly surely these answers are helpful. All we are doing is addresing a specific queerie.
