TURE IS 1 1/8" (MEASURED FROM THE TABLE
SAW TOP).
I NOTE I The maximum socket (female por-

13/16". To determine the depth that the dado will cut
a socket, subtract the thickness of the support ledge
(5/16") from the cutting height of the dado.

6 TIMES the width of one finger or socket and be
supported at all times to avoid any tipping while cut-
