- Learn how to make a simple router jig for cutting dado joints.
Dado Jigs are handy items for making shelving units and for cutting the slots that shelves fit into making them sturdy and professional looking. This jig uses a Top Mounted Bearing Router Bit, sometimes called a Template Bit, and makes excellent adjustable dado widths.

Simple, effective and accurate. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the tip on this. Built the jig yesterday and this morning (early - sorry, neighbours) I'm routing perfect Dados.
You should be called the Kindness Woodworking Web...so grateful for you!! Thx, Lisa
Built this jig "exactly" as described in the video, EXCEPT, I didn't have 3/4" plywood, so I used 5/8". I also purchased the Diablo template router bit, but didn't realize that the cutting area was so large. I'm using it on my Ryobi trim router, and I discovered that, with 5/8" plywood, the bearing would not ride on the edge of the jig; it was still up within the router guide. I put 1/4" plywood under each of the jig sections, which brought the height to about 1". Extending the router bit all the way out, I was able to make a dado in my shelf unit that was half the thickness of the 5/8" plywood being used. An excellent, simple jig for dadoes for one who does not make many dadoes. Maybe I'll be able to make more now that I have the jig.
Your simple and quickly built jig is perfect for those of us who only occasionally cut dados and who just want to get on with our projects without having to waste a lot of time making something fancy that will seldom be used.
This is much easier/better than any other dado jig I’ve seen!
Wish I had had you for shop a century ago you don't miss a step and you don't talk down assuming everyone knows what you do. Thanks a bunch.
Excellent video and information
This was a great lesson all the way around. Thank you so much!
I have more built more jigs than actual projects thanks to Colin.
Lol one day I'll watch a video that will help me. I'm an old timer like yourself lol less gray hair. We find solutions. Keep up the good videos.
i wish i was smart and could come up with simple things like this. Great idea
Whilst the whole thing could have been refined, you kindly show us another way to accomplish this task.
I plan on building my shelves with this method. Thank you Colin, keep pumping out your videos Buddy!
Nice jig
Used the process you demonstrated to cut some dados for a book shelf I’m building and it worked beautifully! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Brilliant!
Good job Colin. Love the simplicity.
I love watching your videos. I learn something every time. I have always run my dadoes all the way out for shelves and used iron on edge trim to cover seams. Never again. Thanks soooo much.
This is exactly what I need!
I woke up this morning; and, as I was preparing for my day, I thought: "What can I do today?"
Then, I thought: "I know; I can watch Colin Knecht on CZcams!"
That's, literally, what I thought -- obviously, I enjoy watching Colin Knecht on CZcams!
This is the first of his videos which showed up this morning; I have watched many of them several times -- they are, always, informational and entertaining.
As you often demonstrate Colin, the simple ideas are often the best.
Such a simple but perfect jig, and the trick with the shim and shelves to cut a perfect fit Thank You as always.
Nice

Great idea Colin thanks for that
what a simple idea. I liked the shims you used to saw of f the board
Simple jig that is quick and easy to make. Excellent instructional video. Thank you.
Great jig and as a newcomer to woodworking I found the top for trimming the shelf very helpful, I would never have thought of it and tried to butcher the dado. Thanks so much for your very helpful and educational videos!
Thank you for the lesson
Great and simple. Thanks.
I wish I had a Freud router!
Great technique. Thanks Colin
Your good spirits is contagious, greetings from Panama

Neat trick with the veneer shims 🤩
Thank you, a very clever and easy solution.
Excellent instructional video! Excellent!!! Thanks!
So simple. I'm going to try and remember this one
Thanks
Nice. This will work way better than my cheapo table saw.
Buenisimo.
You rock, Colin! Love all your videos!
I made myself a very similar jig some time ago too, but I also stuck some fine sandpaper to the bottom of the jig to help stop it slipping when it use.
Freud is trend upside down lol never noticed that before!
muy buena idea. gracias por compartir, me gustan sus videos y la manera en que explica , los sigo desde hace ya tiempo,
Thank you for posting, it is very much appreciated, Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to you and your family.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too!
Simple project, awesome idea.
Great video. Very helpful. I'm a beginner building a mobile closet on wheels for my garage. Trying to decide which is best to use to make dado cuts between radial arm saw, table saw or router.
Colin, I'm really interested in seeing your channel and your job always! thank you for sharing that with us.
Slick design...easiest jig I have seen yet.. Thanks!!

I am 60 years old and have been working with wood just about my whole life and I have always run my day to all the way to the end. This looks so much better! Thank you so much!

good one .old school jig but still works great,,have you ever used a splining bit,we use them for putting 2 pieces of plywood together for over size bulkheads..but they work great if you have 2 small pieces of plywood to make a bigger size piece.
Great jig Colin.

I'm very impress. So simple and so practicle. I will do one this afternoon, Thank you so much for all your videos and tutorials. You are a source of inspiration for me and my wood working (as a hobby). Congrats from France! Thierry,
take the shelf and use the router at the same depth and rout the shelf. if all is done the same then you should have a perfect fit.
Love it! Thx for all your great videos

When I look at the fancy do dars I have for cutting Dados, and the the 'Exact' dado jig with sliding bars and lock nuts. You come along and show me/ us how we waste money. 'Why' didn't you show us this at least three years ago? I / we could have saved a lot of money. So simple and no expense. Big thanks Colin, I will definitely be saving a couple of off cut boards and making this Jig.
Magic! You make everything look easy. Great Video
Thank You!
simple = clever design! Thanks.
