DEWALT DW7444 Dado Throat Plate (for DW744)

Works perfect with the DW744.

My DW744 manual says to replace the outside washer with the inside washer and use the arbor nut only. Another reviewer had a problem fitting a full size dado with both washers. Check your DW744 book. Dewalt may have changed there manual, so a call to Dewalt will get you a new manual.

The insert fits fine but the accompaning instructions point out a minor problem not addressed with the original DW744 instructions: You cannot put a full 13/16" dado stack on the arbor and still use the large outside washer which acts as somewhat of a blade stabilizer. You might get a 3/4" stack on using the washer and lock nut, but to use the extra chipper(s) you'll have to secure it with only the lock nut (or an aftermarket thinner washer/stabilizer). Probably not a big deal but DW could have easily solved the problem with a little more thought in their engineering process regarding the arbor length.

I feel that this really makes the saw complet. i don't see the need with haveing this attachment that you need to have a full size table saw. The Dewalt team have out done them selves with this and the whole saw it self.
