Parallel Guide + Router = Dados?

[dinkjs]

I kinda looked around through the search function and I really didnt see anything pertaining to the Parallel Guide system and a Festool router in regards to dados....I was wondering are people with this system comfortable with this route or no?

For myself.  I have not used my PG for dado's.

I use the edge guide with my OF1400 for dado's and rabbits.

And if I use the OF1400 with a rail,  it's the rail on my MFT/3. 

I can see how it would work if you didn't have an edge guide for your router, but for myself it's faster and easier to just use an edge guide.

Depends on the width of the workpiece. I have had success using the guide stop and the MFT's 1080 rail. As mentioned earlier it can also be done with an edge guide but one has to be careful in doing it this way because if you do not hold the router very firmly against the edge of the workpiece an inaccurate dado can result. Consider that the torque of the router motor can work against you, so try running practice dados to see which way the torque will have less impact. Have fun!
