No problem, like Michael said you may need one on the inside to push the stack out a little depending so check your clearance?

Yes the spacers are to make up the difference so you can tighten up the flange, also like Bill showed the smaller flange is for the dado?

Hi there,

?

First time using my dado set up on my Felder 2016 KF700S and I could use some help so I am reaching out to the smart folk on the FOG.

?

I have removed the saw blade and the spacer behind the blade. ?I only have the 12-19 dado set.? I have 1 each of 2, 3, and 4mm spacers.? I wish to cut a 12mm slot so I am not adding any spacers between the cutters since that is the smallest dado the set will make.?

?

When I put, for lack of knowledge, the lock-nut and allen bolt on the dado set to tighten it, the cutters are loose and no matter how I tighten the bolt they stay loose. I put the 4mm spacer on the outside of the dado set and then installed the locknut and allen bolt and it tightened right up.

?

My question is, do I need to place a spacer on the outside of the cutters between the lock-nut and the cutters?? Without the spacer, the cutters are loose.? I wasn¡¯t sure if the spacers are the right ones as I received them with the saw when I purchased the machine.? I bought the dado set used and it did not come with any spacers.?

?

Here are some pictures showing what I¡¯m doing just to be clear as possible. Sorry if they show too large.

?

I just want to make sure I¡¯m doing this right before I crash and burn.? Actually, so I don¡¯t crash and burn, LOL!

?

Thanks for your help and kind guidance.

?

Warmly,

?
