A dado blade is 2 or more blades put together to cut a wider slot with each pass.

Heikki,

I used a router to cut the wire grooves in my insulation (pink foam stuff). It worked great and didn't melt the insulation at all. Kerry's right though, little pink chunks go flying all over.

Okidoki after long and serious .....Ol Brain work... Since the styro is already installed tight and secure.....I came up with a dustless solution to it all.... :lol: :lol: :lol:

I took a 50 centimeter long copper tubing, 16mm in diameter ...Took a mini butane torch.... and with a quickly wooden made handle onto the copper tubing and started to heat the thing up..... :twisted: :twisted:

After getting it to a fair heat.. I placed the copper tubing onto the styro..
for not very longtime at all... and bingo... I had a nice clean groovy groove.. 8) 8) 8) and as I got towards the back I bent the tubing to the radius of the back of tear... :thumbsup:

Plain and simple ...And ... it worked... slick as.... :thumbsup: :thumbsup: a few times of doing the same in the areas where the wiring was to go and Im set.. And no dust to speak of... and no fires either. :lol: 8) ;) :thumbsup: Neighbors were happy ..I think since they are sleepin ..

:laughter: :shake hands: :woohoo:


I be done...just like branding a steer... ;)

Sisu is the correct wording all right... Thats the word used by the famous soldier of soldiers Marshal Mannerheim.. leader of the Finnish Military against the Russians... Sisu Boys Sisu... Forward.... :lol: :lol:

That was the only thing I came up with since I saw a piece of copper tubing layin around with no use... :lol: :D :D And the butane torch with a
good flame... :twisted:
