What happens here

Before making dado cuts, painter's tape is applied along the cut line on the plywood. This technique is shown to effectively prevent tear-out, ensuring clean edges for the dadoes. The dado cuts are then made using a table saw, which will house the cabinet bottoms or shelves, demonstrating how to achieve professional-looking joints.

Goal: Create clean, tear-out-free dado cuts for strong cabinet joints.
