Has anyone successfully used the Freud SD508 (8"dado) on a BT3100? I know I'm supposed to use a 6". I'v wanted an SD506 with Freud's new ICE coating, but I recently learned that it will be at least 1 - 1 1/2 years before they will be making any more 6" dado blades. They don't sell many of them, and they won't make more with the new ICE coating until the ones in stock are sold. I picked up the SD508 with the ICE coating, and the blade closest to the arbor bracket will rub slightly where the bracket extends for mounting the riving knife/splitter. I recall some of you using 8" dado blades and using a Dremel to clear enough space for the blade. Anyone have experience and/or comments? Should I return the 8" and buy the 6"? Will I every need the extra depth provided by the 8"? Will I damage my saw by using the 8"? I honestly won't be using it too frequently.
Thanks,
Rick
