Dado stacks are fantastic tools to use but trying to measure them can be very difficult. I like to use this simple jig to find the correct blade and chipper combination to meet the width of the board I am trying to match the dado to. This requires no measuring and allows a quick setup to avoid the multiple checks that is often required to verify the dados used.
