claen up setting for dadoes-Shopbot
Should the cleanup pass setting in the dado section of the settings on my Shopbot link cause an extra pass to clean up my dado? I have tried to set it at 1/16(.0625) but it doesn't seem to change any thing. I have also loosened my tolerances a bit but I don't want to go to far. I am having to clean up the tenons on the table saw on both the top and bottom sides to get them to fit.

Hi Lorin,
The cleanup pass I think you are reffering to is for pocketing. Typically dados are not pocketed as they are generated through the construction methods (full dado, blind dado) within eCabinets. A "dado" can be made from scratch through the software and then the pocketing feature will kick in. I have attached an image showing blind dado and 2 areas that will need pocketing because a tool cannot create those with a single or double pass. If I am missing something please let me know.

The clean up pass will only be used in dado's when the tool is too small to perform the dado in 2 passes. This will invoke the pocketing routine where the clean up pass exists.
To loosen your dado size you should adjust your dado width clearance setting in eCabinets Systems - Cabinet Editor - Construction Settings - Construction Parameters.
