Over here in Australia, i have often read in magazines, where a tool called
a daddo is used with wood. It looks like a router blade, is this right. Is
there another name for this tool.

Peter...

If it's intended for use with a router, then it's commonly called a
"straight router bit".

If it's intended for use with a table or radial arm saw, then it's
commonly called a "dado blade" or "dado blade set" (depending on
type).

Perhaps you mean "dado" ?

No. Saws use blades. Routers use bits.

Is there another name for this tool.

Perhaps if you gave some more information about what this tool *does*...
