can this saw accommodate a dado blade?

No, DeWalt does not recommend using a dado blade on the DW745 or the DWE7480 Table Saws. There was apparently some misprint in documentation and they amended that via their online Q&A.;

No, but if you're looking to cut 1/4" or 3/8" grooves, it can accommodate the Freud SBOX8 Box Joint Cutter Set

No...and yes. This box joint cutter WILL fit this saw - http://www.amazon.com/Freud-SBOX8-Cutter-4-Inch-grooves/dp/B000ASGV1E It will only cut 3/8" at a time, but you can always widen that. So it does approximate using a dado blade

This will not fit, the blades are too big. I agree with the other answer here - you shouldn't use a dado blade on a circular saw. http://forums.finewoodworking.com/fine-woodworking-knots/power-tools-and-machinery/dado-blade-circular-saw

No... of course not. The DW745 is a Dewalt saw (not a Bosch) and cannot accept a Dado blade. It would not matter if you had an insert that fit on the blade opening as the issue is that there is not enough width between the arbor nuts to fit the stack.

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.

So according to the manual, and several other sources, yes you can use a stacked dado blade set, or the wobble style dado blade set. You will be limited to a 3/4" wide dado stack, and to use the maximum width you will simply leave the outside blade washer off. To answer several other posts asking this same question, yes you can use dado blade sets.

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 set you can always buy them.

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.

Yes it does accept a dado blade. You will need to purchase the correct dado insert plate for the saw (the one for the DWE 744 table saw will not work on the DWE 7491 RS...

The Arbor Size of 5/8-inch is a generally accepted standard for 10 inch saws. Measure your current blades arbor to be sure. You will need to buy or make a throat plate that fits your saw and that is wide enuf to allow the dado to extend above the surface of the table. Your existing plate only allows one blade to extend above the surface.

Eventually you'll find a dado blade set helpful. With the ever shrinking size of plywood today, I'd suggest you first use a router. You should have at least a two amp router that accepts a 1/2" shaft. Make a "t" square guide to keep your cut straight. With the router you can make any width cut but will be limited to maybe a 3/4" depth. If you are making dadoes in a lot of material a dado saw set will be faster but you'll find it challenging to accommodate the weird plywood sizes. Your saw also needs the power to use the dado set as well as the arbor length so you can add or remove blades and or shims to cut the dimension you desire Martin

Yes, although the saw does not come with a Dado throat plate. I made one out of aluminum using a small cut-off wheel and rotary tool (Dremel).Use the existing throat plate to get the size and thickness, and cut out a slot large enough to accommodate a Dado Set. By the way, this saw works EXTREMELY well, and has a surprising amount of power.

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.

Yes it will. You will have to remove the throat plate, but that is as easy as turning a knob and pulling it out. I use the wood river 8" dado blades on my saw all the time. As long as they have a 5/8" arbor, it will work! Good luck, and safe cutting!Jason Dunaway Finish Point Trim & Millwork865-660-9501

Craftsman has a dado insert for your saw. I can not speak if other brands will interchange. You will like this product.

The short answer is I don't know whether it will fit your Ryobi saw. I'm using a Ridgid TS3650 10" table saw, which is the saw for which the dado insert was made, with a Freud SD608 dado set capable of cutting dados up to 13/16" wide. The insert is about 3.75" wide, 13 16/16" long (excluding the tab at the out-feed, non-keyhole end) and 3/8" thick. The blade opening is just over 1 1/4" wide by 8" long, centered end to end, and located on the left side of the insert (from the in-feed end) with the right edge of the opening about 3/16" to the right of the centerline. (The photo shows the insert with the right in-feed end at the top.) Also, the are four Alan head leveling screws, which can be seen in the photo. I suggest you compare the photo and the foregoing description and dimensions to your regular insert. If they match, it likely will work. Hope that helps.

Most likely no. there are 2410LS inserts from Leecraft. For instance the 2410LS zero clearance insert can be tailored to fit the width of your table saw blade whether dado or not. Simply secure the insert after the applicable blade assembly is in place and lowered and ensure that the insert fit is snug and level. Then simply elevate the blade height through the insert to the highest point you would normally use the blade. custom made fit with an insert that fits the saw you have.
