    New to dado blades, couple of questions...

    Just got my first dado set, 8" Forrest Dado King. Set it up this morning, according to instructions, and have a couple of questions.

    1) Based on the photo, does the bottom of the cut look flat enough to you. Seems to me the two outside blades are a hair deeper than the chippers. Maybe I'm being too anal.

    2) I'm using two 1/8" outside blades and four 1/8" chippers. Should add up to 3/4"' but the cut is about 1/64th shy of that. I know I can add shims, but should I be concerned?

    Thanks in advance for your voices of experience.
