In Response To: Tools: Dado Blade ?????????????????? *LINK* (Roger Nuffer)

After reading all the posts in the string, I've decided to go get a "regular" dado blade. Here’s my reasoning:

The wobble blade is supposed to be adjustable while it’s on the saw. This is not possible on my Bosch.

It doesn't have the best fit on my Bosch. It's secure but still...

It's hard to get on and off my Bosch. The Bosch contractors’ table saw has a dust chute on the bottom. This can make it difficult to get large or oversized blades on. I'm thinking of cutting the dust chute back a bit to make access easier. It's also hard to put my sanding disk on the saw.

I find the wobble blade completely unnerving to use. Understand, my job in life is working with brews of concentrated acids and I served on an emergency response team for a few years, but this blade just gives me the heebie jeebies.

That all said, I'm willing to part with the wobble blade. You can have it for free. I figure 3 bucks will cover shipping costs. If it freaks you out, you can then post it and someone else can play fright night with it. First come first serve.

In the mean time, Wood Workers Supply here I come. They are only 8 miles from my house. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

Another option is a router w/ a straight bit.
