I have an older Sears 10" table saw (1940s-50s) (113.27520). What size
stacked dado blade is safest to use with this saw - 6", 7" or 8"? This is
driven by a 1-1/2 HP motor.

Thanks

According to the folks at Ridge Carbide, a 1.5 hp should be able to handle
an 8" OK. I have one on my saw and it works well. The 6" are meant for the
lower powered saws, like the benchtops. Of course I'm talking about a real
1.5 hp, not the Craftsman 6.8 HP with Dynaglide transmission and convertible
hardtop.
