Wobble Dado Owners Anonymous: An offshoot of the "Worst Tool" topic.

I just lied to myself. I was typing that I’ve never owned one of those sear’s blades. I am a bold face lier. I’ve owned one. Used it on a radial saw. Don’t know where it is and for that I’m glad.

I will never do that again. I am cured, I don’t know if there was 12 steps in there but I’ve learned how much I’ve sinned in buying and using.

I confess I had one also …but I never turned the machine on!

-- Dusty

I contemplated buying one, but embarrassingly enough, couldn’t figure out how it was supposed to work so I didn’t buy it.

-- You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation. (Plato)

I had a wobble blade and the raidial arm saw to go with it, sold the two as a pair. I still have and use the contractors table saw with the yellow implant. I don’t know whether to be embarrassed or insulted. A new saw is on my wish lis however my wife’s wish list is bigger.

-- Ron Central, CA

I had one that came with my shopsmith… and desperately needed it for a project (mostly due to time not skill level) unfortunately i misplaced (or never took ownership of) whatever held it in place on the shopsmith’s arbor…. and since it diddn’t fit my tablesaw I ventured out to pick up a good “real” dado set. Liked the look of the ones you could dial in the width, and not fuss with shims… but as only owned (and still do) a cheap portable Delta jobby, I (to add insult to injury) had to by another wobble dado that was specifically for the short arbor on my saw (the ONLY option I could find).

The project was all made in PT, and came out quite good (considering the materials). I don’t regret the purchase for time saved. But I won’t put it to anything close to furniture grade. Shop grade stuff… but nothing going above ground.

I suppose it’s just as well I didn’t put a $200 dado set on a $70+ saw.

Ron,
No insult intended. I lugged that Craftsman from Kansas to Nebraska, and would still have it except for the fact that 1.) The wife’s wish list is for ribbons and thread and such and, 2.) She’s pretty supportive of the woodworking addiction, even an enabler (she bought me a bandsaw).
Her car never sees the inside of the garage unless it’s going to hail or a tornado is coming.

I’m even beginning to suspect that that saw is actually a Jet tool, made for Sears.

I’ve still got a wobbler, but only because I seldom throw anything out. It has been replaced with a decent stackable set.

-- Maplewood, MN

woo hoo !!! for the first time ever i can get through a confession and have not sinned !! well unless thinking of it is a sin in which case im quite guilty.

But what about ‘em sucks so badly?

-- "Bordnerizing" perfectly good lumber for over a decade.

oh no . are you considering another one ? call farther karson!

Well for me the thing was used on my Craftsman table saw. I can’t bash that saw too badly. After 20+ years it still makes a decent cut as long as I take the time to truly set the fence – but that’s another story. (I’ll take any unisaws that are on the give away list – hint hint)
The wobble head does just that. It wobbles. it starts like / and then goes to \ but in the meantime it leaves ^ this in the ‘bottom’ of the trough it hacked out. Rough sides rough bottom. Unlike the above where someone used it to clean up after the router, I tried using a router to clean up after the dado. Found that I did better with a good straight edge and a few passes with the router itself. The aggravation led to the thing finding its current home in the top of the green military surplus parts cabinet. It just seems to fit in there.
Mr Karson I’m not sure about the 12 step thing but if you’ll write them down I know there are those that could use them – I’ve still got hope about getting rid of some of the things “stashed” on shelves and in drawers…. :) hmm if I had more room…...... I could buy new tools ~

-- CaptnA - "When someone hurts you, write it in the sand so the winds of forgiveness will scatter the memory... "

Sounds like we need a contest to see who can best enshrine their wobble dados in a well deserved display case (plus gives added benefit that nobody ever tries to use them).

This has potential to turn into the “wobbly dado” award given to the crappiest things we’ve ever built.

-- miles125, Alabama.."Architecture is frozen music""

Douglas – the problems with the wobble dado, like CaptnA said, are sloped sides and rough sides and bottom. The blade is held at a slight angle to the arbor, which makes it nearly impossible to acurately measure the distance between the cut and the fence. On the plus side, at any given moment you are only removing 1/8” of material, instead of removing the full width of the dado, so a wobble dado is not so likely to bog down a lower powered saw.

-- Coffee is best with a fine layer of sawdust on top. -- http://www.north40custom.com

Peter, I love your optimism. In my weakness (or stupidity, they look alike sometimes) I bought a wobble dado thinking that one blade was better than stacking 2,3 or 4. However, like you’ve said, the bottom and sides were less than … well less, and it was impossible to tell where the silly thing was actually going to start cutting. And yet, in your generosity you have found a “plus side” to a wobble dado. My hat’s off to you.

-- When you give someone a chance it may well be their last.

Plus – the bottom is actually an arc, not a flat cut. Ok for slipping in a 1/4 inch panel, but not ideal for wide dados… you have to either go deeper than you’d like (and add on edge banding to hide it, (and have a less than tight glue surface) or use a chisel or router to square off both sides of the groove. A good idea on paper… but a nightmare to measure accurately.

-- I am always doing what I cannot do yet, in order to learn how to do it. - Pablo Picasso -- http://snbcreative.wordpress.com/

I also have one taking up drawer space, but I have lots of drawers. I used it on my old radial arm saw,

but when the motor burned out, I tried it on my Skill portable saw, but the arbor wasn’t long enough.

It worked fine for making grooves for rough shelving.

I guess one reason I bought it, was because it was cheap, & when your shopping, a person does a lot

of impulse buying.

I was the first one to post on the ‘worst tool’ that I owned one. I lied. I own two. I inherited one from my Dad. It scared the crap out of me when it would make this loud whir sound when I fired it up, and it did not have carbide teeth. So I bought a new one with carbide teeth; same whir, same scare.

-- Stevethepeeve -- I'm no rocket surgeon

I confess to buying two wobblers. Figured there was something wrong with the first one. Second one just as bad.

-- ..... art for lifes sake ... danwalters@lumberjocks.com

My Craftsman saw says not to use wobble type dado blades, so I used a 6” stacked set…but that set unknowningly came with a 3/4” shaft and once bolted on became a wobble (up and down real quick) blade! If there were any loose nuts on the sawcase, I went chaseing them. I finished my project with a router but that was real slow going. Later I figured that I might have installed the stacked dado set wrong, so when I reattempted it I then discovered the arbor size difference! So I put it on the “Tool Swap” forum for anyone to get for free. No takers yet. What tool came with a 3/4” shaft?

-- Bob Vila would be so proud of you!

Douglas

As ScottB said the bottom of the dado is an arc. The wider the dado the worse the arc.

-- Gary, East TX -- The longest journey begins with a single step.

Luckly, I am new to woodworking or I would likely have a wobble dado. One can only imagine how many were sold and how many are like most of our tools, on a shelf because we can’t bring ourselves to toss tools, however bad.

Never bought one, never tempted. The whole idea just didn’t seem logical.

-- Todd A. Clippinger, Montana, http://amcraftsman.com

My first table saw was a craftsman I bought at an auction for $50. I thought it was a great deal as I noticed the saw had a new looking wobble dado blade still on it. The dado blade was the greatest toothpick maker I ever saw. At least I got several years service out of the saw.

-- DocK, WV

I agree with Todd. Just the thought of something that “wobbles” spinning at high RPM’s scares me.

-- North Texas

Sorry fellas, wish I could partake in this lively discussion, but I NEVER owned or used a wobble dado, OR a craftsman table saw!

-- Women love me.....trees fear me

I have never owed a wobble blade, (wobble at that RPM seems like danger and bearing abuse) BUT I do have a Craftsman TS with that yellow align cut plastic plug, I don’t have one complaint about the saw.
I do wonder what that align a cut gizmo is for?

-- MARK IN BOB, So. CAL

I liked that feature. You make a crosscut with the miter gauge on both sides of the blade and scribe the end of the cut on the yellow disk with a pencil. This shows you the exact kerf position of the blade, allowing you to (repeat after me) Aline-A-Cut!

I had the good fortune to grow up helping my dad in the garage and the only thing he let into his garage was Craftsman. Monster table saw, digital radial arm saw, lathe, A Giant HEAVY thinkness planer, and Massive Jointer. SOOOOO, when I grew up and started buying my tools, I bought craftsman. I have to say that the quality is not what it once was but I still can’t complain except for the miter gauge and fence (wiggles). However, I will move up in quality as I move up in experince.

I always wondered what that was! I use zero inserts so I use that as a cut guide.
That is a good idea, though I still do not think wobble blades are.

-- MARK IN BOB, So. CAL

Somewhere in the far recesses of my mind I seem to recall that Norm once (maybe twice) used a wobble dadlo.

Or did I just make that up?

-- No piece is cut too short. It was meant for a smaller project.

Okay, to throw gas on the fire, I finally looked up wobble dado on the internet, and the thing I have is not what I thought I had. This beastie has two blades, one perpendicular to the arbor and one on a mechanism that one can turn to widen or lessen the dado width. Not quite a Freud Dial-a-dado, but not just a single wobbling blade. Don’t worry, I’m not planning a relapse.

-- "Bordnerizing" perfectly good lumber for over a decade.

Douglas I have a wobble and use it frequently. The thing that you have to keep in mind – to get a nice cut – is that you set if for a width slightly narrower than you need and for a depth of slightly higher than you want. After making your “wobble cut” you move the board over to your router table and finish the cut, so it will look like a proper dado. Of course you could bypass using the wobble (chop-a-matic) in the first place and just use the router table for your dado. All kidding aside – I do have a Craftsman Wobble that I’ve had for 30 years or more – I used it maybe twice and found out why people buy decent dado sets. It sucks – but if that is all you have, you can get by with it if you don’t mind cleaning up the finished cut.

I, too, succumbed to the siren call of the wobble dado. It was used on my first table saw- a Craftsman 10” contractor saw complete with plastic insert. Fortunately, it was not fireproof, and it burned up in the Paradise Fire of Oh Three. It was reincarnated as a Freud stack dado set.

Being a good catholic boy and nearly collapsing under the weight of my own guilt I find I must purge my sins and pray for mercy on my soul.

I confess I bought a wobble dado.

I put it on my 3hp Delta Unisaw.

Something didn’t look right. It never really fit. I was concerned about clearance problems. It looked like a saddle on a sow.

I never turned the machine on.

Removed said wobbly war head.

Returned to the original packaging.

Ran out and bought the New Frued dial a dado, they had just come out.

Later that winter I had a “tool reduction sale” because I was building a new shop in the spring and wanted to clean up and reduce all the junk, crap, and excess inventory I had accumulated.

One guy who had bought several hundred dollars of small hand tools and had just begun his “retirement” woodworking years had been looking at the “wobbly dado” with a gleam in his eye.

He made the comment that he wanted to buy the blade but was looking at a few other things and was almost taped out of money for starters.

I told him if he bought the other items, I would throw in the “wobby dado blade”.

He did.

I’m still saying my Hail Marys as a act of contrition.

I”m sorry!

My wobble dado story: A man with a lot of decent woodworking tools passed away. Right away, people began eyeing the tools. You see situations like that where people get the tools way cheap because the widow doesn’t know the value. I didn’t want to see her get taken, so I inventoried almost everything in the shop and researched fair value based on the going rate on Craigslist and eBay. I gave her the list, and asked to buy several items. She sold them to me at the fair rate I had found.

She was very grateful for my efforts, and in some cruel twist of fate, from all the tools in the shop she selected the wobble dado as the item to give me to express her thanks. She then proceeded to sell everything else in the shop to other people for pennys on the dollar.

The wobble dado still sits in it’s box, a reminder that no good deed shall go unpunished.

Well although I’m really E-bay shy, I did find a carbide stacked dado set from Irwin, unmarked and brand new, and I got it for $38.00 including shipping. I hope this was a good price…I’m assuming it is when seeing the same being offered elsewhere for $89.00. I have put it to use (on cherry and maple) and it cuts a nice flat bottom slot. So if anybody else is interested, I got it from “Cripesdistributing” on E-bay. He’s got more of them plus a bunch of other name brand goodies.

As a newbie to the list, I wanted to let everyone know from the begining of my past misdeeds so I listed my breaking of the 11th as follows: “My shop is AKA my two car garage (sans the cars and motorcycles).

Welcome to lumberjocks.com. Things will going better from here on out.

-- "Bordnerizing" perfectly good lumber for over a decade.

I know I’ll get a lot of flack from this but I think the Wobble Dado is getting a bad rap.
I have a Craftsman 7” adjustable Dado, I also have A Freud 8” Stack Dado.

Like so many of you I couldn’t figure out how to use this thing so in the drawer it went and stayed for a long time. One Saturday when I had nothing better to do I got this thing out of the drawer and was determined to learn how to use it. After spending a couple of hours with it I was amazed at the results I was getting. The cuts were clean the bottom flat and the matting part fit was tight. After I got the hang on using the adjustable dado I can make adjustments to the width of the cut with out taking the dado off the arbor several times to add and subtracting shims. With the Wobble Dado all I do is loosen the arbor nut and rotate the eccentric and It usually only takes me one adjustment and I have myself a nice tight fit for the matting part. I still use my stack dado for most of projects were I’ll be making a lot of cuts and I don’t Have to reset the width, but for those projects were you have to make several setups and don’t want to be fooling around with changing chippers and shims you cant beat the Wobble Dado.

Ok now I’m ready for your abuse.

Oh no!!!! You’re one of THEM. Come to tempt us with ease and accuracy. La La La La La La La ... I’m not listening.

Well guys like I said I’m when I made that posting I was prepared to take some flak, but just for argument sake I would like to know how long it takes you to set-up and adjust a stack dado?

QUICK…..SOMEONE CALL THE PRIEST AND TELL HIM TO BRING THE HOLY WATER !

-- Adrian ..... The 11th Commandment...."Thou Shalt Not Buy A Wobble Dado"

Mike – Stack dado, maximum of one adjustment every time.

First, when you do a setup, make a cut in a story stick and write what chippers and shims made that width. The next time you set up, see if your story stick has the right width slot in it, and use your notes to set up.

Second, if you don’t have the right slot in your story stick, stack your dado a little too thick with shims and make a test cut. Put a scrap of the correct thickness into the test cut and remove shims from your stack and put them into the test cut with the scrap until it’s tight. Leave those shims out and restack your dado with the remaining shims. You’ll have a tight dado.

I have heard stories that Yeung Chen, (protégé of James Krenov and College of The Redwoods graduate) began his career as a child with a bit of spring steel from a packing crate, sharpened on the concrete sidewalk. So I believe the Capt’s statement above is right to the point.

So here’s the thing (borrowing a phrase from Mr. Monk) — Next time a beloved and respected tool magazine does a tool test of stacked dado sets, I hope they will include an eccentric wooble dado blade as a baseline comparator. I would really like to know the whole truth here. Does the use of this tool booger up a TS, what are the outcomes of its use on hard and softwoods. Inquiring minds want to know. Besides, it might fill up the space with more information than the three hundredth iteration of how to cut a dovetail.

I am firmly in the camp of woodworkers that have heard the siren’s song of the many tools I lust after, and must prioritize my expenditures in order to pony up the cash for the next tool I must have ($250 plane, $200 plywood edging bit set, honk-a-daro handsaw, $499 DeWalt 788 scroll saw, Bosch Colt laminate trimmer…). Y’all get the drift. As to Mike’s forthright admission, I admire your bravery, Sir. I, as you have read above have gotten some utility out of my wobbler. I’m not saying I’m throwing that bad boy on my Jet contractor’s saw, but as it’s already a 1/16˝ or better off square to the miter slots who’s to say it might not fix the damned thing. I’m totally not looking forward to crawling around on the garage floor to fit my no longer svelte frame up under there to get after the front trunnions in the January weather here in Nebraska.

But nothing is going to convince me that there is anything slick about the Slick Plane… Nuff said.

One of my bud’s is a Craftsman affectionado (he believes in them). And he has a Shopsmith. (But he does not have a large shop.)

I took a count – 9 Craftsman mentions, one Shopsmith and one Skilsaw (Why anyone would put a dado on a Skilsaw is beyond me!). Did I miss a Jet, a Delta, a Grizzly, a Powermatic, a General?

Setting aside the Shopsmith, because the wabbly was a freebie, does the correlation between wobbly and Craftsman mean anything?

.......OK guys..new here, but certainly not to woodworking…........am I the only one who has good results from the Excalibur blade???
It’s not a true wobbler, in that there are two blades, which align such, \/ , giving full contact, without the extreme arcing effect. We have a couple of them in the shop, set up on an old Unisaw, dedicated for dadoing, and the other we run on the Powermatic if more than one dado operation is required at thew same time. Granted, we do have stack sets, but for most of our work the Excaliburs work fine…...I do agree the bottom cut is a bit rougher than a stack set, but that isn’t an issue if the end of the dado id concealed.
