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.
