A slot or trench cut into the surface of a piece of machinable material, usually wood. When viewed in cross-section, a dado has three sides.

A long narrow cut in a piece of wood?
If it cuts the wood along the direction of the grain into two pieces, it could be a slice, or a rip cut. The same separation into two pieces- but across the grain- would be called a crosscut. Of course, if said cut renders a channel, it would either be a dado or a groove, depending entirely upon it's relation to the direction of the grain.
