Easy Dado Extender and Toolpath Creator Version Dado.ProgramVersion
bad dado

This gadget creates extended sized dado vectors and toolpaths from pre-selected rectangular dado vectors to eliminate problem issue noted in image in red.

This gadget automates the process of creating NEW Dado Vectors on a NEW Layer along with toolpaths.

To use this gadget select one or more rectangular dado vectors prior to selecting this gadget.

The Dado Allowance is the amount the New Dado is to over or under shoot the rectangle dado vector. Typically the New Dado is to be longer than the original rectangle dado vector by the tool diameter if cutting a full width dado. If the dado allowance is left blank then it will default to the selected tool diameter.

If using an existing toolpath template for the dadoes then uncheck the Create Toolpath check box and only the vectors will be created on the specified layer.
