Dado Blades:
There are two types of dado blades: stacked and
wobble.
• Stacked Dado Blade: These dedicated dado
cutting blade sets consist of up to 8 indi
-
vidual blades. Multiple cutters are "stacked"
between two outside blades. The width of
the dado is determined by the combination of
cutters that are “stacked” together. The dado
is cut in a single pass leaving a smooth and
square channel in the face of the workpiece.
Stacked dado blades are the most expen
-
sive option, but are worth considering if your
projects require a lot of visible dado cuts. A
stacked dado blade is shown in
Figure 42.

• Wobble Dado Blade: Also a dedicated dado
blade, a wobble blade usually consists of a
single blade that is tilted on the arbor shaft
while it is spinning. The channel is cut in the
face of the workpiece as the blade pass
-
es through its pre-adjusted width of travel.
Wobble blades are an inexpensive option
when visibly pleasing channels are not a
concern.
Note: This section on blade selection is by no
means comprehensive. Always follow the saw
blade manufacturer's recommendations to ensure
safe and efficient operation of your table saw.
