I have a Martin T-60C which has the space for a 5/8" wide dado ..
The saw has a numerical motorized controller.. Its designed so you type in 4mm or 40 mm.. the blade moves .. and its perfect..
In order to do that.. you need to tell the saw about the blade.. Diameter.. Etc.. You do this once, then simply pick the blade from a library you built.
Europeans don't really like Dado blades on Sliders..
The saw won't recognize a blade under 10" .. The computer simply rejects my measurements.. and the thickness of the blade causes the nut on the arbor to rub on the safety guard if I raise it too high .. which wouldn't be a problem with a 10' .. but I have a Hammer 7" Dado ..
The Hammer is not going to be the right dado in this case.
So I need a 10" or 12" Dado ... i would actually prefer 12" ..
Freud makes both .. The SD500 and SD 600 series.
anyone else ?
Or I need someone to say .. no dummy .. you did it wrong.. and then my 7" Hammer will work .. lol
I'm open to both ..
Couple other folks on this site are looking at Martin T-60 .. so this post may help them too ..
