Best week ever turned into a nightmare when my dado stack seized up

I was cruising through 20 kitchen cabinets in 3 days flat up in Portland, then my Freud dado threw a fit and locked the arbor solid. Has anyone else had a run of good luck get wrecked by one tool failure?

Drenched my arbor in penetrating oil and let it sit overnight.

Wait, did you ever find out what was actually in that penetrating oil? Some of those cheap brands use solvents that can actually swell the wood fibers and make things worse if it's a tight fit. What brand was it?
