What happens here

Take the 3 1/4-inch wide strip of 1/2-inch plywood. Adjust the table saw blade to cut dado grooves across its width. These dados are cut 3 inches on center, meaning there's a 3-inch gap between the center of each groove. These grooves will serve as precise slots to hold the internal dividers securely.

Goal: Create dado grooves into the plywood for internal dividers.

Tools and materials

  • 1/2 inch Plywood Strip — To form the bottom or back panel with integrated dado slots for dividers
  • DeWalt Table Saw DeWalt — To cut precise dado grooves for the divider slots
