Will it cut a 3/16" dado, as you would use for drawer bottoms?

1/4" is the smallest you could get a 3/16 cut with a thin kerf 60 or 80 tooth blade. The 1/4" this set cuts has worked fine for any drawer bottoms I have done. you wont be disappointed with this dado set

Yes. I had to trim 1/4" off of mine to make it fit. It's best if you have a jig saw for a clean cut, but I think you could manage with a pair of heavy duty scissors even.

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.

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 & Millwork 865-660-9501

Yes - we cut with an X-acto knife to fit. Be careful not to bend though as it will crease.

Yes, it will take any of the screws used with this tool, it's just has a narrower spacing between boards, 1/16 vs 3/16 of an inch.

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, 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.

You should be able to use one 1/8" blade and one 3/16" blade. That takes you to 7/32" (or 14/64"... 1/64" shy of desired dado.) With the shims you should be able to dial it in to that. I own this set, but haven't tried it for that width. Quarter inch plywood, I'm guessing?

It would probably cut foam board without a problem, but the 3/16 measurement might be difficult to manage since the paper cutter has a half inch grid.

Yes, you will need the Dado Throat Plate which is DeWalt Part Number DWE7402D1. Per DeWalt, do not attempt to stack dado blades thicker than 13/16" (20 mm). Do not use dado blades larger than 8" (200 mm) diameter. Since dado cuts are not thru-cuts, the cuts must be performed with the blade guard assembly removed. To remove the blade guard assembly, pull riving knife/blade guard release lever and pull up on the guard or riving knife to remove. When using the dado, the special dado insert (also sold as an accessory) must be used.

yes - up to 13/16". Just need to order the dado plate for the saw and the hub set (nuts and washers). Oh - and the dado blade - smile.

I agree with Be. I am using it on a 10" Makita table saw. I did have to purchase an additional insert to accept the wider dados.

No dado, but i will add that Infinity Tools does sell a 1/4 inch kerf blade that would show promise if you already have this saw and want additional capabilities. If you have a small shop like I do, I can get a really strait cut with this little saw. I use router and router table for dado cuts.

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!!!

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. Just use one side of a dado set, or a .125 in regular saw blade.

Well, sure! You can use it for any blade, really. The only problem with using it for dado blades is the different widths. So you might want to get a couple to deal with that.
