This brand is unknown to me. Can anyone please shed any light please. Are they a good brand-name?

Many thanks

I've got a couple CarbTip blades. They're passable. Nothing more. They're a very inexpensive brand, and you get what you pay for. I only use them for things I don't want to waste my good blades on. What type of blade were you looking at?

Take a look at the Forum Users Radial Arm Saws thread and you will find an answer (as agreed by the deWalt rep, no less). The problems are that the DW guard is too narrow to accommodate a stacked set above about 1/2in, the arbor is also too short, there is no facility to lock (or use a lock nut on) a stacked saw dado set on a DW with a brake either. This means that the safe way to use one is to buy either the DW split 2-piece adjustable grooving cutters or an equivalent.

Not a problem maybe as we're talking about a table saw here..not a RAS...my error in not making it clearer.

I was referring to your TS. Will the arbor accept a stacked dado?

Hi Brad

Yes..I appreciated that, thanks, but I think Scrit was referring to a RAS. Yes..the TS does..max. width 13/16" 5/8" arbor. Philly recommended a Freud set and also machine Mart as a supplier.

Many thanks

Roger
