Product Information
Full details
The MicroJig Dado Stop Pro is a precision-focused accessory kit designed for woodworkers who frequently create cross-dados, half-laps, and inlays on a table saw. By providing a standardized 3-inch fixed center leg and an integrated Dovetail Clamp, this kit takes the guesswork out of complex joinery, ensuring tight fits every time. While it significantly reduces setup time, users should note that its efficacy is limited to table saw applications and requires a T-track compatible setup for full functionality.

FAQs
Does this kit work on all table saws?
It is designed for table saws with standard accessory T-tracks. Please verify your saw’s track dimensions before installation.
Can I use this for non-dado cuts?
While optimized for dados, the stop can be used as a general indexing tool for repetitive cuts where a 3-inch reference is needed.
How do I clean the Dovetail Clamp?
Use a soft brush to remove dust and a mild solvent if resin has built up on the clamping surface.
Is the 3-inch leg adjustable?
No, the 3-inch leg is a fixed feature to ensure maximum consistency and precision for your joinery.
Does it come with a carrying case?
The kit is provided as a set, but does not include a specialized storage case; storing it in a drawer or on a tool board is recommended.
Troubleshooting
The stop moves during the cut
Ensure the Dovetail Clamp is fully tightened and that the T-track is free of wood debris.
The dado fits too loosely
Re-calibrate using the Setup Gauge and verify that the workpiece is held flush against the 3-inch center leg.
Pros and Cons

- Ensures consistent, tight-fitting joinery

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your kit, slide the Dado Stop into your table saw's T-track and utilize the Dovetail Clamp to secure it at the desired position. Use the included Setup Gauge to verify your blade-to-stop clearance before making test cuts on scrap material. Compatibility is generally high for standard table saws equipped with accessory T-tracks. To maintain the kit, keep the dovetail clamp clean of sawdust and resin buildup. Occasionally inspect the 3-inch fixed leg for any signs of wear or debris that could affect the accuracy of your cut. Store the components in a cool, dry place to prevent corrosion and maintain the precision calibration of the setup gauge.
