I've been playing around with the barb dado and wonder if it is better to have ramp in turned off for this tool. It tends to mess up about the last 3/4" of the cut.
Your thoughts, Forrest

Re: Barb dado plunge
Forrest,
I would recommend a shorter value for ramp-in (.25" to .5"). There has been discussion to possibly implement the option to designate dado/rout ramp in length, in the next version of control nesting. This is for all dados and routs. A rout is any cut from pocketing or centerline.

Re: Barb dado plunge
I would like that Ryan. I have a 3/4" tool that machines for our thick backs and on some parts it ramps on some it plunges. I would appreciated it greatly if I can set it up to ramp in all the time.

Re: Barb dado plunge
Forrest,
I am thinking about trying the bard dado. I am assuming you are using the 1/4" tool available. Can you give me some info on your settings you are running with this tool; i.e. feeds and speeds.
Thanks,
Zach F

Re: Barb dado plunge
Hey Zach,
So far I've only used it on 1/2" .47 material and have run it at 18k rpm and 600 ipm. I have had to use a 55% tenon and have gone between .025 and .030 tolerance for fit. With those settings I set my bit at .25 and run with it. To get consistent fits make sure you fly cut and have even cut thru. I have cut mostly drawer parts but have started to cut a few prototypes for a new line of face frame cabs.
Hope this helps,
Forrest
