If it's one of the Craftsman saws with the direct drive motor, you may find
that not only will you need to make multiple shallow passes, but that the
arbor is not long enough to use the full width that the dado set is capable
of.

I just bought a used Freud 8" 'safety dado' set (still in the mail) and

was
wondering
if there is anything I'll need to do to use it on my crapsman 10" table

saw.

I realize the saw is underpowered, that's why I normally use a thin-kerf
blade.
I'd make several passes if needed, raising the blade each time.

However, will this blade even fit on the arbor. I've heard of such

problems
with other
dado blade/ saw combinations. The saw did come with an insert for dado
blades, just
hope I can use it.

Even if it doesn't fit, it was a great deal for $75 (I think) and just
another reason to get
a real table saw. After the planer...

ThankX,
Ron
