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.
