OPERATIONS
Dado Cutting
Commonly used in furniture joinery, a dado is a straight
channel cut in the face of the workpiece. Dadoes are
"non-through" cuts that can be made with a dado blade or
a standard saw blade. Figure 79 shows a cutaway view of
a dado cut being made with a dado blade.
This saw can only accept a dado blade with
5
8" arbor
hole and maximum width of
13
16". If you have any doubts
or questions about the size of dado blade you want to
install, call our Technical Support before proceeding.
In order to install a dado blade, the scoring blade should
be removed and a zero-clearance table insert must be
made specifically for the dado blade you will install (see
Figure 80). Refer to Zero-Clearance Insert on Page 62
for instructions on how to do this.
If you plan on making dadoes at varying widths, we
strongly recommend making a zero-clearance table insert
for each thickness of dado blade that will be used.
Installing Dado Blade
1. DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM POWER!
2. Move the sliding table out of the way to expose the
lower blade guard.
3. Remove the standard blade. To loosen the arbor nut,
insert the arbor lock tool that came with the saw
and turn the arbor nut clockwise (it has left-hand
threads).
4. Remove the spacer block installed on the arbor
behind the standard blade you removed in Step 3.
The spacer block is not used when dado blades are
installed (see Figure 81).
5. Assemble/adjust the dado blade system to the
desired width of cut, according to the dado blade
manufacturer’s instructions.
6. Install the dado blade on the arbor shaft, as shown
in Figure 82.

DO NOT make a through-cut with a dado blade. Dado
blades are not designed for through cuts. Failure to
follow this warning could result in serious personal
injury.
