I'm trying to decide between the 6" and 8" Oshlun dado stack for a Ridgid R4512.
I have a feeling the 8" may be a bit too much for the small 1HP motor on the Ridgid, but the flexibility of the 8" diameter may be nice to have.
But then I thought how often would you really need to cut a dado/rebate that deep?
I guess the only time you would really need it is if cutting tenons?
The maximum cut depth with a 10" blade is 3 1/4", so with an 8" blade it's going to be 2 1/4" and with a 6" blade 1 1/4".
Has anyone bought an 8" and wish they'd gone with the 6", and vice versa?
