Caddy Organizes and Protects Dado Set
Jul 29, 2015
It always feels awkward to carry the multiple parts of my dado set from a nail on the wall over to the saw, plunking them down on the cast iron. I worry about dropping a cutter on my toe or damaging a carbide tooth.
This dado-blade caddy solves the problem. I made it from scrap plywood, using two dadoes, four screws, a couple of dowels, and glue. It is light, strong, and balances nicely. Pick it up by the handles and the components stay put. Set it down and they are easy to access.
