When using Blum slides with the Grizzly G0611X, place the dado on the workpieces as follows:

- If your stock width is not a multiple of the template size, do not follow the standard rule of thumb.
- Instead, manually cut the dado where needed for the Blum slides.
- Center the socket placement by eye when setting up the machine.
- Ensure the workpieces are properly dimensioned and laid out before cutting.
- Follow the machine setup procedures in order for accurate operation.
