I've got the Diablo Freud 8" stacked set that can do up to 7/8 with all the shims and spacers. I've used it up to 13/16. It's not the fanciest / best out there, (I think I paid $99 at HD), but it seems to work well. It's my firsts dado set so I don't have anything to compare it to, but the three projects I've worked on so far have come out great.

I actually went with the Forrest 8" Dado King. It's expensive, but does a great job. To make it fit, I switched the inner washer with the outer washer and used the washer that came with the Bosch Dado throat plate insert for the outer washer.

I think the dados come with a thinner arbor washer (at least mine came with it), so u can replace the thick one and so the dado can fit. Check with Freud. Mine is el cheapo, but it has. I hope u can find one that makes flat bottoms, mine does not.

Yes, that one is, and probably because they often just use file-folder shots for Amazon ads. In my reviews of the saw (on a couple of woodworking sites) I used photos of my own saw, which I have modified considerably. The main mods were the installation of a non-collapsible support at the rear to handle longer boards being ripped and a zero-clearance throat plate for 90-degree cuts. I also stiffened up the dust port outlet and replaced all of the plastic knobs with solid wood knobs that I made myself. I also installed a second, paddle-type on-off switch on the right side of the saw for convenience sake. Not only is the 4500 different from the 2400, but the stand is, too. The 4510 has a superb zero-gravity stand (similar to the Bosch jobsite saw stand), and has a riving knife (instead of a simple splitter). The motors are probably the same (the same as that of the 1290 sliding-compound miter saw, too, but with different drive arrangements, of course), but the fence may be the same already quite good one. I think that either saw would work just fine, but of course only the 4510 can be obtained new. A decent, used 2400 unit would probably do the job as well, and should cost less, too. Howard

My experience is that the throat plate fits in the opening, however, the opening for the dado blade effectively expands the wrong direction and is essentially unusable, especially if you are trying for a 3/4" blade. People I have spoken with advise making your own throat plate for this saw.

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 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

Until I got a stacked dado set I used these blades to cut dadoes. It should work fine. Note that cross grain cuts in Oak can leave "fuzzy" edges, but that's the case also with a regular dado blade.

It really depends on the saw. First check the Skil saw manual. There should be a section that describes the use of a dado blade and the saw limitation. If you cannot find the info check the Skil web site or e-mail them. Hope this helps. BTY- I have a 10" DeWalt and the only limits I have are: dado must be no bigger than 13/16" and dado blade no larger than 8". Check YOUR manual for Dado Cutting.

Damn good question. I ordered blades recommended by Amazon when I bought the MasterMind and they didn't fit. Wrong shaft size. Still sit in the case to this day. Amazon is not quite with the program regardless of their opinion of themselves. I regret I don't know the answer to your question. I have used the toothed blades that came with the saw to great effect. I learned to love this saw. Great tool when you get the drift of it. Hey... If you find composite blades for the thing, let me know where you got them. I'll buy them too.

I just bought an 8" dado stack.. I read that this saw will not accept an 8". The saw is a ts2400-1. Is this true.

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 depends on your preferences, which may be influenced in part by your table saw. A stacked dado is nearly infinitely adjustable. I also happen to like the large cast iron surface and 500# of stability my table saw provides. A smaller saw might not be so user friendly to use. I do use a router for dados on occasion, but generally prefer the TS. A router is a super handy tool to have, so is recommended for nearly any shop....for the cost of a straight bit, why not add the capability of doing dados with the router too? Having choices is generally a nice option.

The best way to answer your question is to: 1. Check your owners manual, or, if no help: 2. Call Ryobi technical support or: 3. Measure how much unused thread you have available after the arbor washer and nut. Look on the width of the widest set of all shim washers and both auxiliary blades. This is your maximum dado width. If you have insufficient open threads on your arbor you might be limited to something less than max dao width.

The max dado on this saw is 13/16". You will be OK with a 3/4" dado blade with a 1/6" to spare.

I purchased this item in 2010 for my Ridgid jobsite table saw that you reference. It fits PERFECTLY. I used it with a dado set to fabricate the frame for my router table. Don't know where other folks are getting their misinformation. They may be thinking about one of the other saw models.

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! I use this plate for my dado cuts on my Delta Unisaw.

Being a dado set it should be compatible with any 10" capacity table saw. The question in my email asked about a STIHL saw which I believe are only chain saws. If they make a table saw I am unaware of it. But, if they do make a table saw I would think it would be compatible with this dado set. If, on the other hand as the question appears above you mean a SKIL saw then they would not be compatible because skil saws do not have an arbor.

I am presently using this on a Craftsman 10" saw but not all of the craftsman 10" saws will support it. The saw's documentation will specify the blade diameter supported by the saw for a dado set, and the dado set width supported by the arbor. It is important to follow these guidelines as the retention nut on the arbor must thread on far enough to secure the blade -- if it does not, it could result in injury. Additionally, the throat included with the saw likely will not accommodate a dado blade. You will need to order a new throat for dado use. I ended up making my own throat as I could not find one commercially available for my saw. I am presently using this on a Craftsman 10" saw but not all of the craftsman 10" saws will support it.
