I was doing a search for a better quality stacked dado set and came across this tidbit: As already mentioned dado blades are illegal on UK (EU) table saws because in order to use them the guard and riving knife have to be removed, and is therefore unsafe. This is not the case in the USA. Because of this, all UK or european table saws are deliberatley fitted with short arbors to prevent their use. Talk about a nanny state!
Eh...wot?

So are they making them with a hand saw and chisel like we had to do in jr high shop class or are chisels illegal too?

What a nanny state...... Looks like our brethren across the pond will have to use a radial arm saw and make cut , slide board 2mm , make cut , slide board 2mm again and again to make a dado.

Dado blades and guns are illegal but rape, spousal abuse, and killing daughters who shamed the family is basically legal if you belong to the religion of peace. What's next?

I can buy them here... and can buy suppressors without any paperwork.
Pete Do newer EU built table saws have arbors long enough to accept a dado stack?
Eh...wot?

I wonder if you can run a Dado stack in a Saw Stop table saw in Europe? Interesting question. I'm sure you can but the question would be, is it legal to do so.
Eh...wot?
