His biggest mistake is that he has the blade set way too high. Second is baggie cuffs on his shirt. Mainly, his blade is too high. He should use a stick to push the piece away from the blade before he puts his hand in there. But, asking for trouble with that blade height.

I'm an American living in the EU, and I have a table saw here. The EU law is that ALL BLADES being used in the table saw must use a riving knife. There's no riving knife for the dado blade, so it can't be used. It's not because the dado blades are dangerous. To 'help' people comply with this law, most table saws sold in the EU have short arbors, so even if you could find a dado stack you wouldn't be able to install it. Dado blades are not illegal, but using them is.

@edwardholmes91

Yes, you're right, the arbor often isn't wide enough to accept a dado stack. Also, the riving knife in the UK is taller than the top of the blade, to allow attachment of a blade guard and/or anti kickback pawls... So making partial cuts is impossible, unless the riving knife is removed. I've just got a CMT 6mm groove cutting blade that fits on a UK table saw, so I can now cut dado's, albeit thin ones, when the riving knife if removed. It makes such nice, clean, flat bottomed grooves!

Something that often is misunderstood: The "illegal" aspect of dado stacks is only illegal when an employer allows employees to use dado stacks in table saws (i.e. it's legal in automated and properly enclosed machinery). A private citizen can do what they want with a dado stack, it's just an occupational safety issue.

On another note, my saw has a wobble blade, you'll never know sphincter pucker until you spin up one of those badboys

That was my thought... All the EU guys I know couldn't run a dado stack even if they wanted to, either because a) their arbor isn't long enough to accept it, or b) even if it is, the riving knife isn't adjustable/removable. I guess the assumption has been dado = no-no for long enough that most equipment matches that standard.

All the discussion of regulations aside, I’ve been hesitant to invest in a dado stack largely because of the cumbersome setup and having to install all the individual pieces of a “traditional” dado stack one by one. Being able to install this as one complete stack all at once is a game changer in my view. I’ve usually done grooves with my router but this has me seriously thinking about investing in this product.

Awesome! I just ordered one. I already have one of those older style dado stacks (exact same one you have) and I hated using that thing so much that I just usually would take the 10 passes on a regular blade instead

I use dado blades on on saw to cut the joints on the drawers. I made a zero clearance throat plate for the two blades cutting the 1/4” wide and 1/4” deep joints. Cabinets and furniture has several drawers on nearly everything.

I have yet to use mine. But, I will be working on a build-in bookshelf soon and will get the chance.

we had the old style dado blade in our shop when i started my apprenticeship in the early nineties, they scared me back then, like the do today :D really like the design of the locked one

Very interesting, I would suggest that people check not only the length of their arbor but also the diameter. A common job site saw in the EU was the Bosch PTS10. the arbour is 30mm in diameter.

I will be buying these dado stacks! So nice!

I already have a dado stack but this looks very interesting in how it keeps the teeth positioned correctly. The only downside on my saw, the Delta 36-725, is if the stack is built outside of table saw. It might be a bit tight to get it on the arbor with that dust shroud down below. Matt, have you seen that nut/washer combo from Woodpeckers for SawStop saws? They've made the two into one piece so that SS saws can handle thicker stacks. Sometimes people, myself included, have not used the washer on thicker stacks but this item from WP's looks really good.

Nice set. I had no idea they as getting banned. I have a old craftsman set that is built together and you spin the blades in opposing direction and it gets wider or skinnier. Many folks hate this style but I got mine with my saw used and I seldom use it but it does a good job. Most the time anymore I use a router anyway. But forsure the sound coming off of a stack is very scary if not use to it.

Wow! Amazing design!

These look way more efficient than the old-style dado setup. I had to install dado blades at school once, and I hated every second of it😂

I have an 8 inch Freud stacked dado, all the blades on my set lock. My set is about 20 years old.

So how do you fit the wide blade on a UK/EU compliant short arbour, which is deliberately sized to prevent thick dado blade mounting?

Sigh…no, despite what the signage tells the gullible…it’s not true. Dado stacks are readily available (including CMT ones) in the EU and UK. There are safety regulations for employers to protect their employees that include the requirement for blade guarding and blade brakes. Self employed and hobbyists are only limited by the availability of suitable saws (extended arbours). The regulations are NOT to ban designs through the back door, they’re there to protect employees. This version will STILL require to be used with suitable and sufficient blade guarding. I can have the old style stacked dado sets delivered next day if I wanted to. I don’t because…router. 🤷‍♂️ Note that if you want to buy any Felder/Hammer table saw, you can order it with an extended spindle for ‘groove cutters’ or dado stacks. When you order that, you’re guided to the overhead saw blade so that you can use it safely. These new style stacked cutters are better than the old style and cheaper than proper adjustable groove cutters, that it. 🤷‍♂️

i have a old dado blade, From Sears, That adjusts buy turning two blades to get the width you want up to one inch. The blades are tapered on an angle. no chippers to add. Are these good or bad?

In middle school we had a whole section dedicated to the dangers of the dado. 40 years later and I still follow those rules. Do they even have shop class in schools these days?

Thanks Matt. Job site saws will accommodate dado stack blades but due to less power a 6" is the largest recommended. With that said, do you know if CMT intends on making a 6" for these saws

I've had my eye on that new CMT dado stack for a while now. Cool review. You didn't mention the elephant in your shop: does this stack work with SawStop table saws. We could infer from your video that it does, but you could be running your SawStop in bypasss mode. A little verbal mention about SawStop compatibility would help clarify.

Whats normally the advantage of a blade with more teeth? It generally provides a smoother cut. The reason, assuming your feed rate is the same, each tooth takes a smaller bite, reducing tearout, especially on crosscut grain. So if you have a dado set with few teeth on the outside blades, like this new set shown in this video, you should probably feed the wood slower if tearout is an issue. The traditional dado sets sold in the US that include a higher outside blade tooth count, should provide a smoother cut along the edges.

@chezlerq4478

More teeth requires more power. Bigger diameter requires more power. Most dados don't need a smooth-as-silk finish, it's getting glued. I have a 7-1/4 circular saw blade with 3 teeth. Fewer teeth cut faster with less power. I have had a CMT, carbide, dado set for years for use on my radial arm saw. It is a 6" 24 tooth. CMT says a 6" 24 tooth should be used on a saw with at least 3 HP. They also say that an 8" should be used with 4 HP or more. I totally agree with that. After using mine for all types of wood, my 6" would be a lot easier to use and safer with 4HP. My son-in-law has stopped his 10" 2.25 HP table saw with his 8" dado set trying to take too big of a bite. I have nearly stopped my 3 HP with a 6"; and it is sharp. Don't get an 8" unless you have the power to run it properly, or you like being disappointed. P.S. A 6" dado set will cut Deeper than you will Ever need to cut.

Thanks nice tool, Format4 and C. R. Onsrud make excellant dado machines that are very safe starting at about $150,000.00 and usually costing much more, so I will be using this blade for my shop.

I had to do the quick math. 457 passes of 1/8" blade is 57.125". If you make a pass every single second, you can get the job done in less than 8 minutes. That's a pretty wide half lap. I definitely recommend the dado stack or giving up.

Over 50 years experience in woodworking including owning a major furniture manufacturing company on the west coast. Used properly the existing dado set never presented a problem. We made sure the carbide on the blades were not chipped and were sharp. We staggered the interior blades which resulted in a cleaner cut. The outer blades and more teeth than this new dado set. We did have saw sharpening company come twice a week to service all our cutting tools. We even made our own moulder knives. The new set is rogress I guess but seems like a lot of fuss over a pretty benign situation.

Most places in the world use oscillating blades to cut wider, rather than stacking multiple blades together. In fact, I've only seen dado stacks in the US.

Thanks Matt

Interesting. Would like if you showed the shims and how they are integrated. 👍

I remember way back in the 1980 s using a wobble dado blade . It wobbled up too about an inch wide .That thing seemed very dangerous to me but nothing bad ever happened. Of course we had it on a 300 pound porter cable saw . I bet one of these plastic shop saws we have now would dance across the room.

I have been using an Oshlun brand Dado set for many years and I have never had any of the blades slip. I make absolutely certain that each blade clears the one before it and before I tighten the nut down good & tight, I double check that the blades are still properly spaced. I do, however, like this new way of making a Dado set. I looked them up and on sale, it costs about $145.00. I think that is a very reasonable price for what looks like a great way to lock the blades in place. I am curious about the durability of this new system over a number of years.

Very informative video. Thanks 🙂Beyond my price range here in the UK. Some resellers selling them for up-to £340 (about $430) including sales tax. For that price I'd be expecting them to come and cut the wood for you ;-)

My previous understanding of EU Dado situation: There are stopping requirements for blades in the EU and it is difficult to meet that requirement with a dado blade so EU table saws don't usually have an arbor that is long enough to mount a dado stack on. Also BREXIT might have affected something on this as well. FWIW, I remain confused.

It is not difficult to meet the stopping time, you just use an electromagnetic brake. The problem is stopping a dado blade that fast would tend to make the nut holding the blade on come loose.

Been using a Harbor Freight dado stack for years. I think I've never used the chippers and shims to only cut 1/4" groves. Of course my table saw manufacturer does not recommend dado cutting on that saw. I have a dedicated zero clearance plate for that dado stack as well.

My father lost 1 & 1/2 fingers using a old-skool dado stack. A piece of rebar was buried longitudinally in a maple board and the end blades stopped but one of the inner knives came apart and "walked" across his hand, ending up imbedded 20+ feet away in the wall. He lost 3/4 of one finger, 1/2 of another, and 1/4 of a third. Ice, a cooler, and calm nerves saved the fingers, but all three had to be pinned after reattaching . It took a good while to heal, and he never got full use of his left index finger. The flip side is he had to modify his golf swing (mainly his drive/long game) and his game improved from a 4 handicap to playing scratch golf. Can't overpower your swing if you lose flexibility and grip strength, ya know. Still not worth it, IMO.

Thanks for this news! If im correct this blade might fit on the skill jobside tables saw (TS-6307) because of the bigger arbor. Do you know if this fits? Would be a massive + for the already will prices saw.

I think the main issue in the EU is that most saws simply can't take dado blades. The axle is not long enough to take more than one blade.

Does it come in a 6 inch set? I've never used a a inch set as I never needed a Dado to cut that deep.

Unfortunately most of the table saws here in UK don't have arbor's long enough to take this dado blade. It was a standard that was bought in quite a while ago to stop us using these blades....nanny state!!!!!! The maximum most of us can use are ¼" (6mm) CMT grooving blades.

Love the shirt. First time I heard Proverbs 27:17 was in an episode of Burn Notice. Good vid BTW.

I've *never* seen dado blades been sold here (NL) Would be great to get my hands on one. [edit] Wow, didn't expect this being sold for 330 euro 😳

I bought that dado stack from Jonathan Katz Moses long ago it's the best ever

It would nice if they could make these for table saws with arbors that are too short for dado stacks

Hey Matt, I have the Dewalt 8 1/4 table saw DWE7485 but couldnt find a dado thats compatible. Do you have any suggestion or recommendation? Thanks for all you do man, I learned and cont to learn through your vids.

Thanks. I don't think that saw is capable of accepting a dado stack unfortunately.

Yea that seems to be the consensus on this saw.

Despite explanation of how the dado gives a flat bottom cut later in the video, both the cuts shown at 5:40 have a less-than-flat cut into the plywood. Overall, though, it appears to be a nicely designed blade.

Thats what I was thinking, definately leaves extra material in the middle which is very noticeable in some of the shots. But then at 9:18 it looks like it gives a good surface. Would love to know whats going on there.

The central blades are maybe mounted backwards, what would explain the burn marks

Here in the EU and UK you would be lucky if that stacked blade would actually fit on your table saw because they make the blade arbor deliberately too short for stacking. A router table is a better tool for crating accurate wider cuts IMO.

In the EU, CMT sell the 230.312.08M rather than the 230.312.08, which is 6 to 20mm. The Nominal widths table looks very similar, with spacer and shim the thicknesses being quite close, but they're not identical. For instance the 1/8" chipper is noted as being 3.14mm thick on the M set, rather than 3.175mm, so I would be interested to get vernier calipers on these to see if * they are manufactured to metric specs, with the U.S measurements being approximations; * they are manufactured to imperial specs, with the EU measurements being approximations; or * they manufacture them to both metric and imperial specs rather than just varying the documentation.

First & foremost, Thank you for taking the time to produce & share this video with us, i appreciate you & Amy. I was a Diablo blade fanboy, I admit it lol. But, once I tried my first CMT table saw blade after watching a video of yours it’s been, “Diablo? Diablo who?’ 😊

also the flashy orange makes the blade visible when it's running

It is NOT ONLY because blades lock together, but because EU has strict laws about blade deceleration and stoppage time. That's why EU machines use some braking of blades, etc. dado blades take more tine to stop for obvious reasons.

It is compatible with dewalt portable table saw (DWE7485WS) if I change the insert covert? I know that the saw is not compatible with dado stacks but this one is different.
