table saw blades - table saw blades


One very important piece if information that would have been helpful about this product would have been the thickness of the hub. It is almost 7/8" thick. This presents a major problem with most table saws in that the arbor is only about 1" total length, this means the maximum safe thickness of the blade is about 1/2" Vermont American 26752 7-Inch 16T Carbide Adjustable Dado

First, If you think Vermont American is American, forget it. It's made in China. The hub rubbed when I tryed to mount it. A cheap plastic spacer whasher is included for this(some table saws) but this caused the blade to hit the dado plate cutout. I threw away the spacer and trimmed .050in. off the hub. Then it fit. It cuts well except it tends to tear when exiting work as tooth is about 3/16 wide. The 3/4 groove cuts perfectly square. A good buy for convenience of quickly changing cut widths and price.

We used this blade to make a dato on a cutting board... it turned out better than expected. As long as your not going for a professional quality cut (and most of us, lets be honest, aren't pros) this thing will do the trick. It is VERY easy to set and I expect to be happy with this for all my dato cuts for a long time. - Table Saw Blades'
