I have an older Sears 10" table saw (1940s-50s) (113.27520). What size
stacked dado blade is safest to use with this saw - 6", 7" or 8"? This is
driven by a 1-1/2 HP motor.
Thanks

All three sizes will remove fingers with ease; none are "safe". I have
always used an 8 inch dado because it can make a deeper cut.

I just recently finished a project on which I used my father's Freud 6" dado
and really liked it. Therefore I am considering getting one. What
situations do need the additional capacity of an 8"? Have you had projects
where you needed it and if so, what were they?

According to the folks at Ridge Carbide, a 1.5 hp should be able to handle
an 8" OK. I have one on my saw and it works well. The 6" are meant for the
lower powered saws, like the benchtops. Of course I'm talking about a real
1.5 hp, not the Craftsman 6.8 HP with Dynaglide transmission and convertible
hardtop.
Steve,
You might find the depth of cut limited somewhat if you try to use a 6" with
a 3/4" thick tablesaw sled.
YMMV,

It has a Dayton 1.5 HP 12 amp TFEC motor.

AHHHHH I hadn't thought about the prescence of a sled. Seeing as how that
will be one of the first things to build when the new saw arrives, I am glad
you mentioned it.
