would using a dado stack be a good approach?

I thought that this jig came with a booklet to help you calculate the outcome ?
BEST ANSWER: I did not receive a booklet. The easiest thing to do is have a piece of molding that you are trying to match and place it in the jig and adjust the jig accordingly

Can you do material thicker than 1.5" by shimming up the jig?
BEST ANSWER: I wouldn't think you would have to shim up the jig. Just adjust your hold down to allow the thicker wood through. If your wood is thicker than what will slide beneath the bars across the ends you could shim them up if you need to. In fact, if you needed to you could remove the bars and clamp the jig parts to the table. Just be sure to take shallow cuts as you run your wood through the jig, and take it slow enough you don't flex the blade. Remember, if you are a wood worker you don't always have to have the "perfect" setup to turn out a great project, you just have to be able to think ahead, improvise where you need to, and above all else do things SAFELY at all times. If there is a risk of harm involved, either figure out how to do it safely or ask someone for advise. Using this jig, always keep in mind that eventually that spinning blade will emerge from the under the end of that board! Stay Safe, Stan H.

What type of blade do you recommend (My saw: 10" contractor's table saw)
BEST ANSWER: Steve I use a 60 tooth fine saw blade so I don't have to sand as much, it works very nice. Hope you have fun with your new Jig.

having never cut coves before, would I be able to cut a partial cove. i.e., a 1/2 or 3/4 circle cove? Thanks in advance for any reply
BEST ANSWER: Yes you can, this jig works very well, the Cove is dependent on the Depth setting on your table saw, Mine uses a 10" Blade, but if you change to a smaller blade you can cut smaller coves, the 10" will cut 1/2" cove no problem..
Hope this helps...

can you start 1" or so from the top and end 1" from the bottom?
BEST ANSWER: If I understand the question it would be similar to doing a stopped cut on a router table. I suppose it could be done but I would consider it dangerous to do. The best process for making the tablesaw cove cuts is to progressively increase the depth of cut over several passes to achieve your final profile. I have created a false stopped cut by attaching a beveled piece to each end of a long cove cut to simulate a gradual or tapered entry into the full cove cut.

I need to use a molding head on a Dewalt table saw that creates 3 grooves, will this fence work for that purpose?
BEST ANSWER: This is typically used at an angle to the saw blade to create a cove.
From what you're describing you will be using your molding head inline with the fence I don’t think that this will do what you want.
There’s a good video demo on the Rockler website
of the cove jig in use.
Good luck!

Nice Cove Jig for Quick Set Up
Easy set up with this jig... very sturdy and rigid for making cove cuts on the table-saw... Really enjoy the clamping system that locks in to the miter slots (vs. the home made jigs and having to clamp the ends out on the wings of the saw.... and the finger board clamp holds the stock securely to the surface... looking forward to future projects and incorporating cove cuts into the design...

Quick, easy and safe!!!
I had no need for a cove cutter before I got this, but since I started making frames I thought I'd give it a try. When I looked at some of the videos on the different ways to setup the table saw with all the clamps and different fences, my first thought was why. This jig makes it very quick and easy and is quite safe as well. Glad I got!!!

Very easy to set up and use. Works best by making several passes and raising the blade a little each pass. Push the board through slowly to avoid having to send out a lot of saw marks.

Amazing
The cove jig worked worked very well although I had to shim it up for clearance on a 1-7/8 x 3-3/4" thick hard maple board. This was a deep cove and all went well with very little sanding in the end. A great product.

Well Made
I bought this as I need to finish some shingles on a job that a friend left undone. I didn't want to waste a bunch of lumber with a homemade jig so I ordered this one. It is well worth the money and did a terrific job. I'm going to tackle the exterior of the wood shop next as it's missing some shingles. I have already seen alot of uses for it and it will be getting a lot of use. Thanks Rockler for the great product!
