Can this saw handle dado blades?

Yes you can dado. It should be in the specification. I think you can go 7/8" wide

my older 744 can handle dado blades.....I would double check for the newest version..

Yes. That is why it costs more than the new ones! You can't use the guard for dadoing so Dewalt says don't use it for that, but that is about half of what I use it for all day long. Takes up to 3/4" of blades, but don't ask Dewalt. They will refer you to the legal department.

No...and yes. This box joint cutter WILL fit this saw - Freud SBOX8 Box Joint Cutter Set, Cuts 1/4-Inch and 3/8-Inch grooves.It will only cut 3/8" at a time, but you can always widen that. So it does approximate using a dado blade

Yes. There are several other questions asking this & all have answered either straight out yes or yes with some minor modifications. (where the poster actually answerd the question instead of the "I don't know" answer some people feel they must post). Myself I am using it on a DWE7491RS. Actually I have 2, one for a single blade & another I cut for a dado. (if you normally use several dado widths, you may want to get 1 for each width or you loose the 0 side clearance).

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.

Yes, a set of dado blades will fit on this saw. You will need to make a modified throat plate, as with any saw using a dado set. Also, if using the full stack, you will need to leave the washer off due to the arbor length. Just tighten the nut securely. This is also a common thing you run into with many table saws when using a dado set of blades.

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

You can use any blade you wish. The saw is designed to be used with any blade including dados if the proper cartridge is used.

I have never used a dado. I would think it would work. I would point out that the saw works well but would question it for real fine work and cabinet making.

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.

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, 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.;

Any 10" blade will fit! You have to use an 8" Dado blade set. I love this saw, accuracy of cuts is exceptional.

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.

Per the manufacturer specifications, a dado blade cannot be used with this saw.

Yes. But it only accepts 6 blades total (4 chippers) if I remember correctly. And you will have to make your own plate or modify the one that comes with your dado set.

The Dado set will fit any saw with a 5/8 arbor. The Dado throat plate isn't worth the money. It will not accommodate a dado set over 3/8 in. Get piece of plywood or MDF and make a zero clearance plate.
