Americans also distinguish between dados and grooves, but in English both are a housing joint.
In the uk a dado is a rail that goes around the wall of a room to prevent damage from chair heads, grooves are generally parts of wooden joints

In Amurrica, a dado is a housing joint that goes across the grain, and a groove is a housing joint that goes with the grain, except when it's not a housing joint and just a decorative feature.

Thank You Jerry, I find it interesting how many UHH members have other diverse interests, ie: woodworking, cooking, firearms, hiking, trains, etc. that are also my interests. In working years I was an electrician, built and serviced fueling facilities including POS equipment and "tank" monitoring systems. Interesting what we do with our "spare time".

I made the router table/cabinet that is in Norm Abram's book, it works great for me!
