Using a dado blade for a table saw allows you to create precise grooves and joints in woodworking projects. To use it safely, always start by unplugging the saw and installing the stacked or wobble dado set according to your cut width. Use a zero-clearance throat plate to prevent wood tear-out and ensure stability. Always wear safety gear, secure your workpiece with a fence or miter gauge, and make slow, controlled cuts. Regularly check blade alignment and avoid excessive feed speed. With proper precautions, a dado blade enhances accuracy and efficiency in woodworking tasks.
