8-Inch vs. 10-Inch There are a couple of reasons why you don’t need a 10-inch dado blade set. Since dadoes rarely need to be cut deeper than about 1 1/2 inches, an 8-inch dado blade set will be large enough to cut most dadoes and rabbets.

This is the reason why freshly-cut lumber does not work very well for fine woodworking, which requires great precision and fine tolerances. The lumber used in precision woodworking must be dried considerably before it is stable enough to use. This is why lumber manufacturers either store lumber for long periods to air-dry it or bake it in ovens, called kiln-drying....
