Can I use an 8-inch dado blade?
As long as the diameter of the arbor hole on the stacked dado blade set matches the arbor diameter of your table saw or radial-arm saw—and the arbor is long enough for a dado blade—you can use an 8-inch dado blade on a 10-inch table saw.
How deep can a 8 dado blade cut?
The maximum cut depth with a 10″ blade is 3 1/4″, so with an 8″ blade it’s going to be 2 1/4″ and with a 6″ blade 1 1/4″.

Why can’t you have a dado in Europe?
As already mentioned dado blades are illegal on UK (EU) table saws because in order to use them the guard and riving knife have to be removed, and is therefore unsafe. This is not the case in the USA. Because of this, all UK or european table saws are deliberatley fitted with short arbors to prevent their use.
Can all table saws use dado blades?
Dado blades are made for table saws. You can adjust the dado blade to control the width through adjusting the blade or changing the number of cutters you are using. The method you use will depend on your table saw and dado blade set. Not all table saws are compatible with dado blades, so check your saw specifications.
Can a dado blade be used on a radial arm saw?
Chris Marshall: It’s possible to use a dado blade on a radial arm saw — but I say this with a huge caveat: as you probably know, radial arm saws need to be operated with utmost caution.
Do they make a 10 dado blade?

What are the two types of dado blades?
The Two Types of Dado Blades
- Wobble Dado Blade. The wobble dado blade is a single blade with an offset rotation.
- Stacked Dado Blade. The stacked dado blade is a series of blades in a stack that create a wider blade.
Can you dado with a router?
The router is the one tool that will handle all the dadoing and grooving you’ll do in woodworking. The dado is prime-choice joinery. It follows that hoary adage of woodworking, “Use the simplest joint that will work.”
Are wobble dado safe?
Frequently, wobble-style dado blades are considered because of a short arbor that will not safely handle a stacked dado blade set at its full width. That is a very real safety concern because the arbor nut must be fully seated on the shaft with at least one full thread protruding above it’s surface when tightened.
Why are dado blades smaller?
My understanding is that dado blades should always be smaller than the saw’s rated blade size due to the increased load of cutting a wide dado over just cutting a saw kerf width. The smaller diameter means your saw will be able to exert more force on the teeth than it would with a larger diameter blade.
How many teeth should a dado blade have?
The number of teeth on the scoring blade also affects the quality of the cut. You’ll find as few as 12 and as many as 42. This is a case where more is not necessarily better. I’ve found that 24-tooth scoring blades give excellent results.
