I have a sears craftsman cabinet saw read in woodworkin mag some time back that you could get a longer shaft to use dado blades with.Having a hard time finding one.Any Ideas?I contacted sears and they said duh .
Tags:
Model number of the saw would be nice info. Is that a direct drive, belt drive (shudder) cable drive? Odds are, if it wont take a dado set now, the motor isn't big enough to turn one.
model 152.221140 belt drive 1 1/2 horse onley 2 years old
Hi Terry - Now I'm puzzled. I did some checking on some of the other forums and it seems that it will take a 13/16" dado stack.... Anything in your owners manual that says it won't take a dado?
I cant beleave that the cabinet saw dont take staked dadoes You might have to eliminate the washer at the end like IO do on my Craftsman contractor saw.With the washer I could only get two turns of locking nut with out I get around 3-1/2 turns
I just did a search on this model and there is no saw listed http://www.sears.com/shc/s/search_10153_12605?keyword=152.221140
This is only Cabinet saw they list and it will take a 13/16 dado

When I use a dado blade with my Craftsman Table saw, I can't use the beveled washer that I normally use for saw blades, but do have enough threads left to tighten the arbor nut down well.
You dont need the washer read my post above

I'd discourage the use of an ''add-on'' extension on the table saw blade shaft.
There's a reason for the OEM to make a limited threaded length.
The saw may not be designed to accommodate an extension.
1. There is a liability issue, with an extension---if the extension should come loose, it could result in damage to the machine or injury to person(s).
The mass of all those blades turning at a high speed, when loosening, could result in extreme damage.
Thread engagement, of the nut onto the shaft, there should be a min of 2 threads exposed beyond the nut, after the blade is installed.
That's a good point. I doubt if I should even be using that adjustable dado in my contractor saw.

Safety first!

Jens, what do you think about this requirement of "2 threads exposed?"

Those extensions they sell are mainly for table top saws,I used to have one until I upgraded. Just dont use the washer and you will be fine
That is what mine ends up with and little more Thats all you need .Ive done this for couple two years and so far ever had a problem and besides when blade is spinning it is also holding its thread position from loosening up on you..BE SAFE .IO also have adjustable blade that I have never used but see no harm in it. I no Jay uses one all time and look at his magnificent work.

I saw the video Kreg put out for this new jig and had high hopes for it.
I purchased one today and am very disappointed with it.
First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…
