Dado Stack On European Table Saw

"Preparation for Dado tooling up to 19.5 mm width"
jesus, you could really debrain yourself on this puppy.
 
I have the Felder dado stack for my Hammer K3.  No guard.  Works like a champ.  Very clean sides and bottom.  Not cheap, tho.  I ordered the setup when I spec'd the machine.

Four or five grand for a K3 basic is not so much to me. I'm kind of obsessing over this table saw right now. What do you mean by clean sides and bottom?
 
When I start  up  my  two piece  Felder  dado/groover set,  my mind is set at ease knowing  the new arbour is designed  for the job at hand. High quality machined steel  and heavy set  and runs  very  smooth  on the poly V belt.
The arbour  shaft  is 35mm  diameter.  Similar to the drive shaft  on a car wheel.
There's  no compromises.

The thought of it shearing the shaft  and jumping up out    and going air borne  never enters my head. ;D

haha, can you imagine how nervous is the guy who fears his dado turning into a missile: super neurotic woodworker.

Try the Bosch GTS 10 XC. On another forum I read how someone ordered some parts from the Bosch 4100 (which is in a way the US version of the GTS 10 XC) and used this to fit a dado stack on his GTS 10 XC. Don't think this kind of operation will be covered with warranty though :)

naw, sounds iffy. plus, i doubt that machine is accurate. :) also, i'm disillusioned with contractor tools.
 
I had a Swiss made Inca Major 10" table saw for over 20 years and safely used a dado stack on that saw without any issues.

did you have to check the nut or part holding the blade on the spindle bar to make sure it isn't loose? sounds very frightening to me, after hearing some horror stories.

also, how wide of a stack could you fit on there? did you have to make custom modifications?

i know the inca table saws are highly regarded for their accuracy. i don't rule them out for a future purchase.
 
It's been over 15 years since I sold my Inca Table saw (for the same price I purchased it for) so I can't remember the exact width of Dado I cut with the stack.  I know I cut joints as wide as 18 - 20mm without a problem and I never had problems with the nut coming loose.  There were enough threads on the 20mm arbor to secure the dado stack and with the 1 1/2hp Baldor motor I had driving that saw I could cut hardwood dado all day long.

I replaced my Inca with a Powermatic 66 with a sliding table and 5hp motor, my only regret is not keeping the Inca as a second saw especially since it had the mortising attachment that worked real fine with end cutting end mill bits.

Sounds like a fantastic little saw.

I don't think i would ever cut a dado bigger than 2 or 3 cm, so 18mm to 20mm sounds good.

I'm impressed it had a mortiser on it.

If I remember correctly, It was the Inca 259 Major 10" table saw.  It had a tilting table design that allowed the arbor end to be used with a Jacobs chuck for mortising.  The saw had an attachment with a two way sliding table that also tilted for angle mortises.  I had a few adjustable rollers to support heavy work while mortising and was able to cut 12mm mortises for heavy duty doors.

I would imagine that there are some still out there for sale in the used equipment notices.

sounds great. i am scouring europe now to try to find one for sale. i know there are many in switzerland but import costs can be heavy. thanks for the suggestion and info.
 
yeah, i saw that one. but I am living in greece. i have to find one in the EU to prevent paying 20-25% import fees on top of the shipping cost. thanks

Good luck.  If you find one I'm sure you'll like it.
