I use a stackable dado. First build the super. This gives you something to
hold onto when you cut the hand holes. Clamp a block onto the fence of your
saw. Place the back edge of the super against the block, and carefully
lower the super onto the dado blade. When down all the way, push super a
couple inches forward to make the hand hole as long as you want.

         If the super isn't against the block when you start the cut, it
may kick-back. Also...don't use an adjustable dado for this job! They
kick-back every time. Maybe this system doesn't make a "pretty" hand hole,
but one that is functional, and quick to make.
