With the small cut size (I think 16") its not surprising. I think its meant for smaller trim type work.
well. if that were the case, why is it 10"? LOL
Cause depth aint width. I'm assuming the saw can (with a 10" blade) can rip a 2x4 on end?
It's a lightweight saw built to be portable. I don't think they designed it with cabinet making in mind.

yea, you're right, but if they use the same throat plate, the same fence system, and basically, the same tilt and blade height mechanism, give it a full size miter slot, what would it be to make it accept a dado blade. like it's big brothers?
It shocked the customer service reps at 1800 dewalt too...
I do a lot of andersen window extensions, and the ability to accept a dado set is a deal breaker in my book...
well, maybe not, but I wish it would let me dado 1/4 inch at least...
I wish I didn't know now, what I didn't know then
A dado head set has a lot more mass in motion than a single blade, and it is possible that the structure of the saw "cabinet" cannot handle that much dynamic force.

Got news for ya, several of the portable table saws are not suposed to have dado blades used in them!
If all you was doing was 1/4" I'd probably do it but thats me.
