PSA: I kept seeing people at the shop cut dados with a router and a straight edge.
My foreman in Tacoma pointed out that a router sled on a track gives a cleaner edge every time, especially on longer panels. I switched last Tuesday and the difference in tear-out was huge. Do you guys have a favorite method for dados on sheet goods?

Ever try a track saw for that? I've had good luck with it. Router sled is solid though, especially for longer stuff.

My old shop teacher in Spokane always said the right jig is worth an hour of sanding. Campbell.logan is right about track saws, but I see this everywhere now, people skipping the setup to save five minutes and losing an hour fixing the cut. That router sled trick is the perfect example, it feels slower but the piece is just done right.
