Tea Box Dividers

Dividers are ripped to 60mm and then planned down to fit in dados done on the pin router.

After crosscutting the right length, Shu Feng marks where the joinery will be cut by placing the dividers in the box.

A sled was modified to cut the half lap dado joint with a dado set on the table saw.

Layout lines were transferred up the newly cut kerf of the dadoblades on the sled.

Then layout lines on the dividers are transferred to the edge and lined up on the fence.

A stop block is now set in place.

The divider is flipped onto the stop block for the second cut.

This ensures the dados are symetrical

Be sure to do a test fit first. It may take a few tries to accurately shim the Dado Set to the perfect width.
 

Great job Shu!
