Was wondering if we had a FTG blade? I didnt’ see any last I looked but some of the markings are worn off some of the blades. Also does the new Powermatic accept dado stacks? Do we have a dado stack? I know the SawStop doesn’t. And on the Powermatic is the arbor 5/8" I assume?
The powermatic is a standard 5/8” arbor.
We’ve got two dado stacks, at least one of them should be in a drawer of the miter station (i believe it’s in the top row labeled dado stack). Both saws accept them, the sawstop requires you to swap in a dado brake cartridge so I’ve just been using the powermatic. There might be a dado insert for the powermatic in the drawer with other throat plates.
I’m not sure about the other blade.
Yes, we do. Rip blades are most usually FTG. (not all, for some reason?) Combo blades will also have one FTG tip ever few teeth. (not sure if we stock them any more.)
