7" dado blade??

I just bought a used Craftsman table saw. Laugh all you want, everything on
it was recently upgraded and I got it for the price of the new motor.

Anyhow the dado throat plate says it is for a 7" dado blade. I have only
seen 6" & 8". Can I use a 6" with it? Is there such a thing as 7"?

Thanks.

You should be able to use the 6" without any problem. You'll be
able to use the 8", but may not be able to raise the blade all
the way before it hits the plate.

Seven inch stacked dado sets (no carbide tips) were sold by Searz in the
olden days. I have one from the early '70's. Today's 6 and 8 inch
carbide tipped sets will work better than the old stuff, and last much
longer between sharpenings.
