Whiteside 1083A 23/32-inch cabinet dado bit
1/2 in
When to choose it
The 1083A cuts a nominal 23/32-inch groove, which is narrower than a full 3/4-inch groove. Use the measured thickness of your plywood or mating part to decide whether that narrower width makes sense.
A nominal panel label can differ from the actual stock at the cut. Check a scrap from the same sheet before routing a cabinet side. The bit uses a 1/2-inch collet even though the groove is wider.
