Can you use a dado blade with this saw?

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 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.

No dado cartridge comes with the saw. You car of course order one for an 8 in dado. I don't think they have one for a six in dado.. But this is a wonderful saw.

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

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

Your model DWE 7491RS will work with a dado but I could not find any place where they sell a dado throat plate for this model. I would suggest you contact Dewalt or make one yourself.

I'm not sure. I own a dw744x table saw. try calling dewalt direct. 1 800-4-DEWALT. I can say its a great dado blade. I have used it often and have been very satisfied with the results. I recommend getting the zero clearance dado throat plate. less tear out...

Yes, there is room for a 3/4 in dado stack on the arbor. But you will have to make a plate to cover the blade, or go without it. The saw blade tips to the left like \ this as you are looking at the saw.

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.

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, I have not installed a 6" dado blade on a 7 1/4" circular saw. I looked at my 7 1/4" saw and the guard limits how wide a dado assembly could fit. Unless, of course, the guard was removed.A friend of mine used his saw in the fashion that you describe. He is missing part of his fore finger. BE CAREFUL!!!

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

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.

No. Because the carbide tips are 3/16 in wide, They are offset 1/16 in to be able to cut 1/4 in, and reverse for 3/8 in cut. If you have a dado set you can use one of the outside blades as they are 1/8 in wide in most cases.

Yes you can, if it doesn't fit properly it comes with brackets you can use and just about any saw will work.

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.

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.

I had no problem fitting my blade onto my saw. My Frued dado cutters were tight fitting onto the arbor when I first got them, but over time I did not have a problem. You may have to send the set back for one that fits properly.
