Dado Blade
Oct 7^th, 2013 at 3:13pm

I have a few projects that require a dado blade and my contractor saw probably won't be up to the task so it's time to fire up the old shopsmith. I see on the shopsmith website that it takes a six inch dado blade (and an arbor of course). They sell a blade for $160 with a 5/8 arbor hole. Never having had a dado blade before, one of my questions is can I use any six inch dado blade with a 5/8 arbor? Any recommendations, because anything ordered from shopsmith seems to take a month of sundays to come in...

If the Shopsmith has a 5/8" arbor, sure. Does the Shopsmith have more HP than the contractor saw? Freud has a 6-Inch dado set for less than $90 that I use and I like it. It should work on most contractor saws

According to Delta My DW745 contractor saw can't take a dado blade. Looks like it has a short shaft. I will get the Freud dado blade however.
