My apology's for the stupid entry level question. I just bought an older Dewalt 10" Radial Arm saw for cheap. I've already got a 12" chop saw so cut to length type of work is already handled. Mostly the Radial was bought for rarely done work the chop saw can't do and at a harry home shop level . Cutting dados as one example since I don't own a decent and large enough table saw to run a standard dado set on it. If the blade diameters and arbor holes fit the radial arm saw will those standard table saw dado sets work on these types of saws? One would think they obviously would, but I've learned there's a lot of what seems obvious isn't always so. And yes I already know kickback with any RA saw can be an issue if your not careful so a proper table saw would be the far better tool for work like this. There's simply not enough need to justify having one.
