280. One rail dado router track #mtbitesize #routers #dados
Показать описание
One important function routers serve is creating simple, straight dados in furniture carcasses. This makes building something like a shelf easier, as you only need to run the router along a straight edge. However, unlike a circular saw, the router’s bit spins in both directions, which can cause it to drift and pull away from the guide. A common solution is to use two straight edges, trapping the router between them for stability.
But setting up two guides requires a lot of measuring, making the process tedious and time-consuming. That’s where my custom router dado track comes in. It runs on the outside of a single track but locks into the inside of a uni-strut with bearings. This design captures the router like a two-track setup would—without the hassle of measuring and adjusting two edges.
The build is straightforward and efficient. I created a base carriage that presses against the outside of the track, while an upper carriage arm locks to the base, securing the router on the inside. If you’re interested in making precise dados, I’ve made a full video tutorial on building this system, complete with free plans.
