Ok - not a professional, I want to make rabbit cuts into 1 inch pine and cedar. I have a JET 10 inch saw Will this dado work or do I need 8 inch

I used to own a Jet contractor 10" table saw and used 6" dado set (not Oshlun). You should not have any problems cutting a dado or a rabbit into 1" stock (most likely you will only be cutting half way through the material in support a dado or a rabbit.) Make sure your arbor is the same size as the dado set; (most likely 5/8") and that you are using a zero insertion plate to support the wider stacked width of the dado blades

Hi Carroll. 8 inch dado is standard for 10 inch table saw. Generally if you had a 12 inch table saw, you might go up to a 10 inch dado (but only then because the arbor size is larger for most 12 inch saws). I have a 10 inch grizzly saw... and w/ this Oshlun dado set I can cut at least 2 inches deep for sure. If you ever cut deeper than 1/2 inch... it's usually a good idea to take remove no more than a half inch of material at a time. BTW... for the money... the quality and cut of this dado set is an incredible value. I've been impressed as I use mine.

This is more of a light craft wire cutter. For wood you would probably need something a bit bigger, of course it depends on the wood you are cutting but this is for fine craft work.

Hi, I normally work on wood that is .5" thick but there is a clearance of 1" between the finger guard and base, you can remove the guard if needed. I also think the number of the blade will make a big difference. I normally use a #3 up to #5 for my projects but prefer the #3 on my .5 so I can sand less and the cut is much smoother. Hope that helps a little !

If you're talking about 4-6" thick, no you will not be happy, consider the 10-325. I have both and the 10-305 is a nice little bandsaw but it won't handle thick lumber like that. The 10-325 on the other hand, I have resawn a 13" wide piece of 8/4 ash with excellent results.

I am not personally familiar with this model but I note that it takes a 10" blade and I ASSUME it has a 5/8" arbor. If my assumption is correct then you have to determine if the arbor is long enough. Looking at other's answers to questions, it sounds as if the arbor is too short for a dado blade, although one answer says you can stack two blades and still tighten the nut. If that is true then you probably can use the two Freud box cutter blades. However, there might be another problem: these small saws are notoriously low-powered and so you may be limited to shallow cuts which means you'll only be doing box joints in thin material. I think you'll be taking a big chance trying this. I am not personally familiar with this model but I note that it takes a 10" blade and I ASSUME it has a 5/8" arbor.

I also would like to use a 4-jawed chuck so please post back what you have learned. I don't know what will fit my unit as I've only done some small, spindle projects. All the Best.

Sir, I have them on my 10 inch craftsman table saw and they work great. I use them for box joints and for rabbits and dados. I like the smooth accurate cut and the square cuts that they make. A great blade for the price.

This saw is more suited for 1/4 in to 3/8in. It would work but it would suck up battery life and tax the saw. From Dave T

I used my Stihl saw (49cc) with a 20" bar to cut an 18" diameter walnut log. It works but is slow going. The logs were 8' long and each cut took 5-10 minutes with the saw running wide open, which used nearly a tankful of gas. The mill works but if I had more than a couple of logs, I would take them to a sawmill.

I am not the ultimate expert on saw and blades but I would not recommend buying 10" stack dado for small table saw. I use it on delta unisaw which is 220v and has more powerful motor. On my saw it works very smooth and does a great job. I have a Bosch table saw similar to your dewalt and I would not use dado larger than 8" and I would not try to cut too deep in one go.

use your own measurement, not the embossed numbers on the saw for setup. then let the saw do the work, do not push to hard.

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

No. Only the 10" blade cartridge comes with the saw. The 8" dado cartridge is extra and is more expensive. (about $90) If you put the dado set in the machine, it will not run unless you also put in the proper cartridge.

We used a Husqvarna (farm hand) chainsaw with a 24" bar. We did not have a lot of lumber to cut. That would be the smallest size chain saw that works for small jobs. I suspect 'small' saw would perform better with a rip chain. I was a fun project.

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

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

I own this saw and run a 24" bar. I use it to cut 5 cords of firewood each summer. As long as the chain is sharp, it does great.
