Woodpeckers Dado Nut for SawStop Table Saws, One Piece Replacement

The Dado Nut: A Clever Solution for Maximizing Dado Stack Performance on Your Table Saw

If you've attempted to install a full 3/4" dado stack on your SawStop Table Saw, you're likely familiar with the challenge - there simply isn't enough shaft space to accommodate both the arbor washer and the arbor nut. The arbor washer is a crucial component, as leaving it off can distort the blade and compromise the quality of your cuts. Recognizing this issue, the engineers at Woodpeckers have devised an ingenious solution: the Dado Nut.

The Dado Nut combines the arbor washer and arbor nut into a single integrated unit, without taking up any more space than the original nut alone. This innovative design allows for full thread engagement when using a complete dado stack, providing the stability of a precision-machined arbor washer and the secure grip of the arbor nut.

Installing the Dado Nut is straightforward, as it requires no new or different steps compared to using the factory arbor washer and nut. Simply replace the original components with the Dado Nut, utilizing the same standard arbor wrenches you're already accustomed to.

Manufactured on state-of-the-art CNC Swiss lathes, the Dado Nut is held to strict tolerances for flatness and thread accuracy. Crafted from a specialized heat-treated steel, it's built to withstand repeated installation and removal, ensuring a long-lasting, dependable performance.

The seamless integration of the washer and nut within the Dado Nut design streamlines the process of changing dado blades, making the task smoother and faster. Furthermore, you may find yourself opting to use the Dado Nut even when your standard saw blade is in place, as its exceptional quality and performance make it a superior choice.

The Dado Nut features right-hand Acme threads measuring 5/8"-12 tpi, allowing it to fit not only your SawStop Table Saw, but also various other saw models. It's important to note that the Dado Nut is not compatible with saws that have left-hand threads, which are typically found on models where the blade tilts to the right rather than the left.

Two distinct Dado Nut models are available to accommodate different SawStop Table Saw configurations. The SS model is designed to fit most standard SawStop Table Saw models, while the ICS model is tailored for SawStop ICS (Industrial) models built prior to 2014, which have a slightly different thread specification.

Consistent with Woodpeckers' commitment to quality, the Dado Nut is proudly manufactured and inspected in the USA. Its precision engineering and robust construction make it a reliable solution for maximizing the performance of your dado stack and table saw.

In summary, the Dado Nut from Woodpeckers addresses the common challenge of limited shaft space when using a full dado stack on a table saw. By combining the arbor washer and nut into a single unit, it provides the necessary stability and thread engagement, while streamlining the blade change process and delivering uncompromising quality. Whether you're a seasoned woodworker or a DIY enthusiast, the Dado Nut is a game-changing accessory that can elevate the precision and efficiency of your woodworking projects.
