Dado Blades...

inkjunkie said

Have a few wood working projects that need to be done here soon. Thinking about using a Dado blade to cut channels in the legs of the shelves that I will be building. Is one style "better" than the other? We have a belt driven Rigid table saw, the model prior to this one. Going to build a bunch of other things down the road as well so the $$ of buying a good blade set is not much of a concern....

I'm an industrial arts teacher and also own my own general contracting business. I have a rigid portable table saw. It will accept a dado blade or blade stack.

There are 2 types of dado blades, a dado stack and a multi angle (weebel wobble blade).

I use a Micro stack. Do not buy the weeble wobble blade. Get a dado stack.

If you need any help using it don't hessitate to ask.

With either style you'll need to make your own dado throat plate.
