   Skil probably did that on purpose as the saw probably has neither the snort or the bearings to run a full1 3/16 dado and live very long. If you have a router you can do very good dadoes with it instead.

   I second going with a router.  You'll get a better fit too.

   What??? I figured you would advocate a router plane and with your physique, set to do a full depth cut!! :)

   A Woodworkers mind should be the sharpest tool in the shop!

   Probably not a bead of sweat either! I've heard he does not own a ripsaw, he just grabs that 8/4 stock like a phone book and tears it down the line!

   You know, the more I think about it the more I think we have a Paul Bunyan, Conan the Woodworker in our midst! Can anyone else regale us with tales of this legendary woodworker? Is it true that his toenails are cut to dovetails and that with one mighty kick he can make the parts for two sets of drawers?
