good evening dont look too much, it is much more simple and will cost less to use a jig saw! the hole dont have to be so accurate and the plate will cover if it is not perfect cut thanks Avi Depot.

I have the larger full table saw and it will take a Frued eight inch, 1/4" to 7/8" dado with ease.

I used a 6-in hole saw on Delrin, and I had no trouble. I would expect that you would be able to drill aluminum with no difficulty.

Mine is 7/8" with a 5/8" insert included. The insert is the blade upon shipment so this a 7/8" arbor hole and can be sized down to 5/8" with the included insert. 1/2" doesn't come into play with this blade unless you have your own rings.

It does fit in but the saw does not accept an 8" stack dado. It take a 6" dado. That is what I found out.

The size you have that's close to,but under 1/2 inch. This will also help in not splitting the wood. If you have a 3/8 wood bore bit that's the best

best bet is to go to lowes and ask..and if you bought your saw from the same company i did..there custmer service is the worst..mine didnt come with a chain so they sent me one....it was freakin used..good luck

You will have to have someone bore out the existing hole to the 2 1/8" diameter. Bore kits are available at any big box store

I used a 2 1/8" hole saw. It was a little large but closest to the same diameter. I used the plate provided with the installer inside the gutter and caulked around it to minimize the possibility of leaks.

Hi Carroll. 8 inch dado is standard for 10 inch table saw. Generally if you had a 12 inch table saw, you might go up to a 10 inch dado (but only then because the arbor size is larger for most 12 inch saws). I have a 10 inch grizzly saw... and w/ this Oshlun dado set I can cut at least 2 inches deep for sure. If you ever cut deeper than 1/2 inch... it's usually a good idea to take remove no more than a half inch of material at a time. BTW... for the money... the quality and cut of this dado set is an incredible value. I've been impressed as I use mine.

It really depends on the saw. First check the Skil saw manual. There should be a section that describes the use of a dado blade and the saw limitation. If you cannot find the info check the Skil web site or e-mail them. Hope this helps. BTY- I have a 10" DeWalt and the only limits I have are: dado must be no bigger than 13/16" and dado blade no larger than 8". Check YOUR manual for Dado Cutting.

The Arbor Size of 5/8-inch is a generally accepted standard for 10 inch saws. Measure your current blades arbor to be sure. You will need to buy or make a throat plate that fits your saw and that is wide enuf to allow the dado to extend above the surface of the table. Your existing plate only allows one blade to extend above the surface.

I have the same saw. Check out Home Depot. I bought what's called a Universal Edge Guide. I had to do some minor filling on the mounting slots of the shoe of the saw. Works great!

it says about 7 7/8" diameter is the maximum. I've used it to cut 3 1/2 holes in 3/4" plywood and solid walnut, and it worked well. Just be sure you use a drill press, clamp down the work, cut very slowly and at no more than 500 rpm. I'm not so sure how well it would cut at the maximum of 7 7/8", but that would depend upon what you were trying to cut a hole in... 1/4' or 3/4" stock.

Dan, I also have an old Craftsman 10" saw my dad bought in 1964. The old fence was very loose and worn. I read a lot of blogs about what I should replace it with. In those blogs many had used the Wixley digital readout on their new fence with very good luck. I have not installed it yet, believe it or not, but it's because I retired recently and my wife and I have been RVing. I sure that it will be excellent.

I did exactly what you described. Actually found a 64" kit (for a 32" door).... but it was more expensive. Worked out perfectly to just cut the track down w hack saw and put rough cut side back into the pocket where it will never be seen. Good luck.

The length doesn't matter as long as you support the uncut end (going into the saw) as well as the finished end (exiting the blade). Unfortunately, you cannot rip a 6" (width) board because the blade is a only a 10" blade and even when raised up to the max, you really can't rip a 2x4 any more than a tad over 3". The blade isn't "tall" enough to completely rip through anything "taller" than about 3.250". I believe a 12" blade would work, but I haven't seen any 12" table saws (that are affordable).
