We have covered a couple table saws and one of the more common request for more information that we get is regarding the use of stack dado sets on these saws. One such example is the Bosch 4100-09 table saw that we covered that can fit a 3/4″ dado if the correct dado insert is used.
What do all the dado blade sets in this list have in common? They are all 8-inch sets, they all have 5/8 inch arbors, and they all have a history of happy owners.
