Lock Dado Question
Is there anyway to put 2 KD fasteners and one small tenon on stretchers around 5" wide. I tried a few different setting and couldn't seem to get it. When routing it slows down so much cutting around the two small tenons my bits are dulling faster than normal.

Re: Lock Dado Question
There is a setting in control nesting called min feed rate, bump that number up if you're getting too slow of a feed rate on small parts. You could also play with the last line feed. I haven't made any lock dados that small but I'm pretty sure it can be done, maybe change your lack dado gap to zero and min and max dist. to 2-3 inches, make sure single max edge length is zero too.
