Dado stack for library shelf housings.
This Pretoria shelf housings record centres on dado work for library carcasses, where repeatable housing depth matters more than a clean face veneer alone. The setup used a stacked cutter for groove and housing passes, with attention on width match, shoulder definition, and chip clearance in board material common to cabinet shops around Gauteng.
First-board images were kept because they show entry edge condition, base flatness, and how the housing width landed against the shelf stock. For comparable work, use our contact form with the city, board type, sheet thickness, and whether the cut is a stopped or full-length housing.
What matters from this Pretoria job is the transfer of settings and checks, not only the archived photo. Record the assembled width of the Dado Stack Set, confirm the target depth for Groove and housing, and test the fit on offcut material before running a full side panel.
One completed housing setup is recorded here, not a fixed result for every machine. Arbor length, saw power, extraction efficiency, and board density can all change the finish inside the trench, especially during dry Highveld spells when dust builds quickly on machinery. Check your own stack capacity and fence reference before copying the dimensions from this project.
