will the saw accept longer than a six inch blade?

Yes. It accepts all standard recip. saw blades. Example, I bought a "Diablo" blade and it snaps right in. Upon examination at the hardware store, I noticed that the shank of most major brands of reciprocating saw blades is identical, so you should be able to use any standard blade regardless of length.

It will, in fact I have used the 12 inch ax demolition blades on a couple of plaster wall an stud framing projects. I really expected the saw to fail after several hours of what I call abuse but it held up. At one time the saw was so hot that you couldn't touch it bare handed. Amazingly the saw is still being used on a regular basis. Whe it finally does fail I will get another. Very happy with it. baysidebuilders.com

it can if your saw has a standard t type gauge. some of the older dewalts do not.

Maybe, BUT...the specifications for the R4512 state a "maximum dado blade of six inches." This is because the saw motor is only designed to turn properly (and safely) the mass of a six inch blade. To use an eight inch blade is to risk damage to the saw motor. That said, however, you can find users of the R4512 who ignore the manufacturer's advice and employ, to their satisfaction, an eight inch dado set up.For proper sizing, you might consider perusing the Leecrarft site for dado inserts. Their products are high quality, specifically designed for specific table saws, and priced very competitively.Hope my response was useful...

I would check your owner manual or "Google" the saw number to make sure, but I don't think you'll have a problem.

It all depends on the size of the arbor (the cylindrical piece of steel coming from the motor that the blade attaches to). Either look up the model/serial for your old saw to determine your arbor size or pull off the old blade and measure the diameter of the arbor manually with a tape measure. This blade is designed for a saw with a 5/8" arbor. You CAN put this blade on a 1/2" arbor but DON'T. If you do you won't be able to perfectly mount the blade around the arbor and then there will be some serious wobble which will damage the saw and probably be a safety hazard.

I have a multi-blade set that has 10" and 12" blades, which work fine. I think you can feel safe to use whatever length blade is available, especially from Milwaukee. I think the limit will be what you are cutting. For really wide, hard materials (10" oak tree trunk) just take your time and don't overburden the saw. Let it do the job without overheating. You should be fine.

I bought this saw for my husband. I don't know the answer, but I will ask him to answer you.

yes, i use this saw for precision cuts to make segmented turnings. I removed a 7.25" and replaced it with a 96 tooth 7 inch. Cuts are like glassDan

Dunno, never tried. I'd suggest calling Home Depot, ask the experts! Good luck, love the saw, had it for close to 6 years!

The mounting slots should accommodate saws with a front-to-back mounting width of 15 1/2" to 22 1/2" (by my measurement), so if your saw's mounting bolt spacing is within those widths you should be okay.

Of course you can. 10-inch just specifies the maximum blade diameter for your saw.

The length doesn't matter as long as you support the uncut end (going into the saw) as well as the finished end (exiting the blade). Unfortunately, you cannot rip a 6" (width) board because the blade is a only a 10" blade and even when raised up to the max, you really can't rip a 2x4 any more than a tad over 3". The blade isn't "tall" enough to completely rip through anything "taller" than about 3.250". I believe a 12" blade would work, but I haven't seen any 12" table saws (that are affordable).

yes - up to 13/16". Just need to order the dado plate for the saw and the hub set (nuts and washers). Oh - and the dado blade - smile.

Type of saw doesn't matter it's universal. As far as size it accommodates up to a 30 inch blade.

I wish I could answer that but I haven't even taken it out of the box. It's made specifically for that particular saw so any other saw probably would not fit it very well.

I do not know. I can tell you that it is 18" long . The actual attachment points seem to be the same on the craftsman saws but this one was too short overall.

See Jane's answer. While the saw wasn't made for that purpose, with the correct blade, it should not be a problem.
