Stacking TCT saw blades

[Chubber]

But you'd never see it unless squinting down the open end of the slot?

The inner face/bottom of the cut is curved. In soft wood and with glue ìt doesn't show but in hardwood of 8mm & over it shows as a faint elipse. This application I want for visible box joints for visible decorative work, not for long housings where the 'groove' is filled with a panel edge.

I would be cutting a maximum of 12mm in a pass.

I use a 3mm and 6mm flat top grooving blade for making box joints. They do the job perfectly. For wider grooves multiple passes are easy. No need for a dado stack and my saw has too short a spindle to use one. If I need wide dado's I made a dado jig to be used with my 1/2 inch router.

@Chubber If it's solely for box joints, This thread is worth a read

Personally, I hate risk. The dewalt table saw is not meant to be used with more than the single blade, so I would not take the risk. Especially as that risk will only increase the cut made by a kerf width.

I would use a jig and a single blade or a router. You get the job done. It may take a little longer, but you decrease the risk.

I dont go looking for risk either thats why I mentioned those provisos in my last post.

Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to offer advice. I had decided to go down the CMT 6mm x 150 diameter line and use it in a jig when I saw their site says their blades may be stacked so that is another consideration.

As my solicitor has announced today that our house sale should complete on 21st of this month I think I shall have more pressing matters on my mind!

TBH you'd be far safer doing this on a router jig.
