A pair of Forrest Dado Kings
drilled for and mounted on the
30mm shaper spindle. |

Three different Tenoning Hoods
with cutter window fully open. |

Same hoods as shown from the
rear. |
|

|
|
|
|
|
Same Hoods with fully extended
front covers shown from
underside. Both Felder hoods
attach to the iron top of the
shaper with hex-head bolts.
The larger hood requires two new
drilled and tapped holes be added
to the top. The Aigner
BowmouldMaster also requires new
threaded holes in the
top. |

Setup of "window
bracket" safety device on
sliding table. This safety
device comes with the smaller
tenoning hood. It is not
available separately as a standard
product. |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The stock projects through the
"window bracket" safety
device into the area of the
cutter. Here is the setup to
cut a tenon using the dual Dado
Kings. |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The "window bracket"
has wings at each end that cover
the exposed cutter. The
width of the "window
bracket" opening is
adjustable, and the device clamps
to the sliding table with hex-head
cap screws into t-nuts. |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Since the Dado King is too large
to lower into the shaper cutout
area, it must be operated above
the table. This gives rise
to the need for something to
elevate the stock to the height of
the lower cutter bottom
edge. Here I'm using
1/4" plywood to raise the
stock. |

A shop-made splinter tongue is
used as a backstop to prevent
tear-out. The Tenoning Hood
comes with a diagram on the
critical dimensions to make your
own version. On the newer
X-Roll sliding tables with newer
crosscut fences, the tongue is not
required, but some form of
backstop is recommended to limit
tear-out. |

This shows the wing on the
forward end of the "window
bracket." It closes off
the cutter and prevents the
sliding table from advancing to
expose the cutter. |

This shows the "window
bracket" opening for the
stock to protrude into the path of
the cutter. The window width
is adjustable by loosening the top
L-bracket and sliding together the
braces that attach to the sliding
table. |

Close-up of resulting
tenon. The quality of cut
with the Dado King is surprisingly
good. |
