If it's intended for use with a router, then it's commonly called a
"straight router bit".
If it's intended for use with a table or radial arm saw, then it's
commonly called a "dado blade" or "dado blade set" (depending on
type).

Perhaps you mean the old fashioned hand router?

It could (perhaps?) be used for dados as well. But I don't see how to
guide it precisely.
Here's an old one (patent in 1884) on eBay:

No. Saws use blades. Routers use bits.
>Is there another name for this tool.
Perhaps if you gave some more information about what this tool *does*...
