craftsman excalibur 8" dado ???
Great information and opinions here, unfortunately nearly every posting is referring to another blade. The Craftsman Excalibur is not a wobble blade, its a stacked dado.

No telling how old this post is but FWIW, the Craftsman Excalibur IS a Wobble Blade. http://www.searsoutlet.com/Excalibur...88&mode=seeAll |

Good old Norm used the same type of Dado blade in a 10" size. I've been looking for on for years. It appeared to make clean cuts. It was my understanding that a single blade set off camber was a wobble blade. Yes a single blade set is a wobble dado blade. A two blade set like the Excalibur still wobbles, just about half as much. Regardless of how many blades if the flat side of the blade is not perpendicular to the arbor shaft it is going to wobble. Whether this blade makes clean cuts or not will depend on your definition of clean. Because this blade and all other wobble blades exaggerate the wobble as the blade is adjusted to cut wider, the wider cuts will result in a more rounded, deeper at the center, not flat, bottom. Basically the blade or blades cut deepest in the center of the cut, as they wobble out to the sides of the cut the cut is shallower forming the rounded bottom. |

I'd add that a wobble dado blade has noticeably increased vibration and sound over a regular table saw blade ~ at least they have done so in my experience. |

It appeared to make clean cuts. It was my understanding that a single blade set off camber was a wobble blade. I have the 10" adjustable (twin blade) Excalibur. I'd consider it a wobbler. The dado bottoms it creates are not flat, but curved, so glued joints are weaker and it leaves a gap if the ends of the dado are exposed. It is nearly impossible to set a repeatable (or precise) width, as it changes with the tightness of the arbor nut. I'd suggest you quit looking for one and get a real stacked dado set. |
