This might be a stupid question but I've always wondered why somebody
doesn't put out a SCMS that you could put a dado set onto? Would it be to
dangerous or underpowered or what?
Seeing as the SCMS is so popular nowadays and the radial arm isn't, it would
be a nice feature.
I usually use a router to put dados in long narrow boards but I think the
miter saw would be a nice alternative especially for a series of repetitive
cuts.

My Dewalt has a stop for grooving. I would imagine a CSMS won't take a dado
because of both the weight and lack of power.

What do you mean?
I normally just cut with the regular blade but then
pull the wood left and right really hard while I'm cutting.
That does the same thing as a dado blade.

So I installed it on Linux...

They got 'em.
But they call them RAS.
Now that I'm done being a smart ass - I got rid of my RAS in favor of
the SCMS almost ten years ago. I too missed the ability to use a dado
head, especially when making things like dentil molding.
Now I make my dado cuts on the table saw and then rip the piece down
into strips.

Well one idea is that a SCMS pivots in back. You won't get a level
dado.

Lycos address is a spam trap.
seems they could add a 'dado lock' to insure level. . .at least as good as a
RAS.

How? Geometry does not work. Chit. Some pivot on slider rail.
Guess it could. Damn I hate that.
