Chris and JSG,
I worked with the Dado last night and sure enough, the grooving problem was user error.
I set the chippers at 90 degree intervals and it worked great. Then I made an nice oak inset for my table saw (complete with a tab stay on one end and a locking screw deal on the other end) so the Dado doesn't kill me.
I ripped some ebony last night and I've mentally prepared myself to do a couple dado's and try some inlay work today. I'll start praying for patience right now, cause I'm going to need a big mess of it.
