This review is from: DEWALT DW7444 Dado Throat Plate (for DW744) (Tools & Home Improvement)

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.

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.

Well, I was holding off on buying this dado insert until I saw the one with the handy locking knob, as seen in the left photo on the items' page. There was another image showing the plate without the handy knob, and can you guess which one I got? Right- the one I didn't want. It's not a huge deal, I just hate it when they cannot accurately represent the items, and the part numbers are the same. One just happens to be a newer design I suppose. I'll live with it since it is for my portable and little used DeWalt DW744 which is a wonderful saw, and I have used some of the biggest and best in the industry. So just know that you will probably not get the one with the handy locking knob! If you do- let me know so I can really gripe them out.
