Creating perfectly straight dados is essential for tight-fitting joints, but getting that precision with just a straight edge can be tricky. In this video, I’ll show you how to make a jig using uni-strut, bearings, and hardboard, which takes the guesswork out of lining up a straight edge. This method is simple, cost-free, and ensures your dados are dead-on every time. It doesn't matter if you're new to woodworking or just looking for a reliable technique, this jig makes dado cutting quick, clean, and effortless.
