Is this good for dado blades as well?

I use this plate for my dado cuts on my Delta Unisaw. To cut the hole into the plate, I installed all the dado stacked blades and adjusted the blade full down. Then installed the plate into the slot and leveled it up with the height adjustment screws. To hold the plate into the slot, I clamped a long 1x4 over it. Then used the blade height adjustment and raised the blade into the plate and let the dado set cut its own slot. I just use the one plate for all my dado cuts. Never saw the need to have multiple plates. The plate is a composite material that carbide cuts very well. Works like a champ!

Jay Dreyer & Gerald Joannnes answers were right on. The Leecraft inserts are the very best and to use one for each width dado would be expensive. I've opened up worn 1/8" or 3/32" Z.C. inserts for my frequently used widths. I've found that UMHW plastic inserts swell too much to fit in the summer in my un-airconditioned AZ shop, Leecraft phenolic inserts are fine.

Yes it will work for dado blades as well. I have several so that I can have one perfectly fit the size dado's I use the most, that way there is less tear out when doing dado's in plywood, for example.

Jay Deyer answered the question as well as is possible. I would imagine that the original setup and cut thru could be tricky, I would clamp a piece of wood across the insert making sure it was clamped solid and when you went to raise the blade to cut thru the insert I would do so VERY slowly.
1502447
You can raise the dado blade up into the insert, but be VERY careful and raise the blade VERY SLOWLY. Make sure it is securely fasten in the saw inset before trying this. Good luck!

Yes, I set it up for 1/4" dados and it works fine. I don't see why you could not go wider if you wish.
1502449
Well, sure! You can use it for any blade, really. The only problem with using it for dado blades is the different widths. So you might want to get a couple to deal with that.

My guess is that the arbor diameter would accommodate a dado. One might have to trim the insert that sits on top of the table next to the blade . Nonetheless, I don't think the saw is heavy and sturdy enough to handle dado cuts and I would not attempt to so so.

This Freud D1050X Diablo 10-Inch Blade is great for its purpose, Ripping and Cross cutting. I would suggest a Dado set of blades Matt.

Yes they do, but I would stay away from any saw blade that spins on an anangle like a wobble dado. It could give the saw a serious case of the shakes as the angle of the saw blade increases to make a wider dado. Please if I were you, I would try to stay with a traditional stacked dado set. They are much safer, cleaner cutting, and more accurate than the wobble style. Ashamed set might be a few dollars more, yet it's well worth it.

No, a dado blade cannot be installed on a circular saw. It can only be installed on a table saw or radial arm saw.

No, we do not recommend using a dado blade on the DW745 Table Saw. There is a misprint in the DW745 type 2 manual that says you can use a dado blade, this information is incorrect and is being revised. See the attached Powerpoint presentation regarding the error in the DW745 ty 2 manual.

It will cut 1/16 and 1/8 dados. The widest I can cut is 3/8, due to the currant throat plate. Dewalt was supposed to come out with a dado throat plate for this model back in April or May, but I have not seen any updates.

I dont have an answer, but Im looking for the same thing. Have you found a blade that does cut a flat bottom dado?

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.

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.

Well, I bought it for my 4100, and it fits that, but I have never used it, and am unlikely ever to use it. Dado saws can be used for so many different size cuts, and this insert is only one, full thickness, size so it is of minimal value. Better to cut your own ply inserts, one for each size, as you need them (lower the blade, insert the insert, wedge with the fence (but not directly over the blade!) and slowly raise the blade. Wish I'd realized that while I had time to return this, but I didn't get around to using my dado blade in time. If you have a router with a pattern bit, that's the best way to cut the inserts, and there's a part of the casing that sticks up higher than the insert rest, so you may need to relieve the underneath of the insert so it sits down properly.

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.

If I understand your question, when using dado stack, you will have to remove the standard saw blade. Once the saw blade retaining nut is removed the blade and both arbor washers (located on both sides of saw blade) can be removed. The dado stack is wider than a regular saw blade, the instructions are telling you to first install the outer arbor washer (previously located between the saw blade and retaining nut) on the shaft, then to install the dado blade assembly/ stack (make sure follow manufacture instructions on dada installation), then the retaining nut and tighten.

Sorry, no. The dado blades can be used with table saws with a long enough arbor and some radial arm saws, although that is not the normal tool to install a dado blade on. There are some wobble blades that might fit on a circular saw, however if you are trying to cut dado or grooves, a straight bit on a router would do a better job and would be more controllable.

The best way to be sure is check your Bosch manual. All saws are different. I have a DeWalt and I can use it butnot to the maxmium dado size. Yours may have such a limit. As far as the Dado insert you can make your own onceyou know if it will work on your saw. Just Google zero clearance table saw insert .... very easy to do. Worst case youcould also purchase them from Bosch or after market. You may see offers with the google query above. Good luck.

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.

I believe it is, but haven't needed to use my dado on it yet. I know there is a blade base plate for the saw which allows a dado blade to be installed. I will have to go home tonight and try it out
