Personally, I'd use a router but I can remember before I got one, making
multiple passes. not real fun but did the job.

A novice trying to find a 10" (or less) table saw blade with a 3/16
kerf. Only need 3/16" for special job making grooves. Don't want to deal
with dado (wobble or stacked) or making 2 passes/groove. Seems like there
should be a 3/16" blade available somewhere.
Any suggestions as to where I might buy such blade would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks..........


Pardon my confusion, but unless you're going to be using the blade in
a dedicated saw, or for general cutting, you're still going to be
faced with a blade change each time you need the wider kerf. So, I
don't understand the reluctance to use a wobble dado or, as previously
suggested, a stacked and shimmed pair of thin kerf blades.

If this is a "special" one time only job and a 3/16 router bit isn't
practical for some reason, before buying a specially fabricated wide
kerf blade, I believe I'd opt for a couple of less expensive thin
kerfs. You'd wind up with a couple of extra blades for general purpose
cutting after the job is completed.
