This 1/2" dado plane is used to make a 1/2" dado (groove) across or with the grain. The precision made nicker ensures a very neat and accurate dado as the wood fibers are cleanly severed ahead of the blade when planing across the grain. The plane also has a mechanically adjustable depth stop so you can plane the dado to a precise depth.
