Does it accept a Dado blade?

The short answer is yes. However, it only takes a maximum of 7/16th". The arbor is not long enough to get a full dado set on it.
344382
yes it does, But if you are going to use a dado blade you are better off to buy a better table saw.

I would not purchase this product The Blades were not lined up correct at Factory I sent two Units Back and got a full refund.The arbor is not long enough to get a full dado set on it. You can Contact a Rockwell Tech and they will advise

It is not the same saw although at first glance it appears so. The one without a stand will not accept a dado stack. This one will. Also width of material able to be cut is greater with this model.

This dado throat plate fit my Dewalt DW744 saw. I think the key to know if the plate will fit your saw is the black plate lock on the front of the plate. I have used this dado plate several times am satisfied with it. Love the DW744 saw!

No dado, but i will add that Infinity Tools does sell a 1/4 inch kerf blade that would show promise if you already have this saw and want additional capabilities. If you have a small shop like I do, I can get a really strait cut with this little saw. I use router and router table for dado cuts.

You should be able to use one 1/8" blade and one 3/16" blade. That takes you to 7/32" (or 14/64"... 1/64" shy of desired dado.) With the shims you should be able to dial it in to that. I own this set, but haven't tried it for that width. Quarter inch plywood, I'm guessing?

I think it would be safe to say yes. I have not used it for that but I have been very happy with the cut that I get with this dado set.I work as a professional cabinet maker and plywood tends to vary a good bit depending on manufacture so 23/32 of a gap is not always what you will need but I think you will be able to adjust for it and get the right size dado groove. Also I'm not positive but I think the dado set came with very thin magnetic shim/spacers like 1/64", and 1/32" so you can adjust as needed. If they don't come with the setyou can always buy them.

As you can see from the other answers, the machanics of the saw allow for a dado blade to be attached. But beware, in the owners manual it specificaly states that dado blades are not to be used with this table saw. Use of a dado blade could void any warranty.

No. Because the carbide tips are 3/16 in wide, They are offset 1/16 in to be able to cut 1/4 in, and reverse for 3/8 in cut. If you have a dado set you can use one of the outside blades as they are 1/8 in wide in most cases.

No dado cartridge comes with the saw. You car of course order one for an 8 in dado. I don't think they have one for a six in dado.. But this is a wonderful saw.

Yes it's possible & practical to make dado cuts with this saw depending on what your intentions are. However you need to understand a few things. It WILL NOT take a dado blade. The method used is to set the stop so the saw will lower to the desired depth and nibble away with the blade. This is very practical if you want to say make some quick half lap joints with 2x4's (for instance) or perhaps for a small shelf setup as apposed to setting up the dado blade in the table saw but I wouldn't want to use it for any large dado job that need precise accuracy. Hope this information help you some with your dado needs.

I'm not a seasoned wood worker by no means. But, since using the Freud sd208 it seems to make good clean cuts with no grooves on the bottom of the cut. Had no hangups on the saw arbor and was able to use the shims with ease. Would recommend this Dado blade to anyone.

No it does "not". The DWV9000 is the universal hose connector that connects various DeWalt adaptors to the hose. I brought the DeWalt DWE7491 Job Site Table Saw which has both a 2 1/2" O.D. port on the back of the saw and a 1 1/2" port on the blade guard. I spent hours talking to DeWalt engineering only to discover they do not even make a hose adaptor that fits the 2 1/2" Saw Port and you have to buy a DWV 9120 adaptor then cut it down for the 1 1/2" guard Port. In the owners manual for the DWE 7491 on page 13 Figure-43 it says and I quote "For best results, connect a vacuum to the port ( 2 1/2" O.D. ) at the rear of the saw and on the guard using a "Y" connector ( 1 1/2" O.D. )." Sure seems to me since DeWalt recommends connecting their vacuum hose to those two ports that they should at least make the adaptors for them and offer them for sale......yes / no.....circle one. But then DeWalt says you can use a dado blade with the saw but they don't make or offer a guard for the saw table for any size dado blade. Again, sure seems like they should make and offer for sale a dado blade guard for the table since they say it can handle a dado blade.....yes / no....circle one.

Your model DWE 7491RS will work with a dado but I could not find any place where they sell a dado throat plate for this model. I would suggest you contact Dewalt or make one yourself.

Yes, you will need the Dado Throat Plate which is DeWalt Part Number DWE7402D1. Per DeWalt, do not attempt to stack dado blades thicker than 13/16" (20mm). Do not use dado blades larger than 8" (200mm) diameter. Since dado cuts are not thru-cuts, the cuts must be performed with the blade guard assembly removed. To remove the blade guard assembly, pull riving knife/blade guard release lever and pull up on the guard or riving knife to remove. When using the dado, the special dado insert (also sold as an accessory) must be used.

On my saw (DWE7490X), and presumably yours, the inside washer does not come out, it is part of the arbor spindle.As a result the DW7444 will not work. It will not align with your dado set.An inquiry to Dewalt confirmed that a correct dado insert is not yet available.To use a dado set in my saw I purchased an after-market throat plate from Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000223V9/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc;=1) and cut my own dado throat plate.

I cannot answer that question. I received the one I had ordered and found it a product I was unwilling to have or use. The blades and chippers have a tendency to collide and bind on one another. I did not like what I saw. I in turn purchased the Diablo Dado set. It is an awesome tool. the parts fit together very nicely and with the shims and shimming instructions you can almost get a perfect dado width the first time.

No. I just tried it. The teeth do not leave a a flat bottom on a dado cut. The teeth cut a little deeper at the edges of the blade. They are shaped at an angle less than 90 degrees to the surface of the blade. The cut leaves a slight ridge in the middle.
