This is becoming like the "can it run Crysis" question of table saws. One answer says no, one answer says manual claims up to 1/2", but they couldn't find the recommended throat plate for it. So most likely no.
Dados are useful for when you're producing multiple panels that need the same cut, but for the average DIYer, you're going to spend more time setting up the stack than you are cutting your dado. Get a nice router and a jig instead.
This saw only claims a 10" left and 12" right rip capacity, FYI. To me, that indicates the stand isn't stable enough for wider panels and the saw may want to tip forward when placing the end of a longer piece on the table for cutting. I could be wrong, but worth considering.
I was just looking at this yesterday. Looks like a great value. However I do not think I will get it because of the narrow rip capacity. Iirc its about 13 or 14 and most table saws are double that. Boy do I want a table saw tho. im clamping boards and using a jigsaw right now.
Purchased this about 2 months ago and ended up returning it. I had most of it assembled, but the anti-kickback pawls are a pain to get on and off. Maybe I just got a bad one, but it seems to be a common problem.

I looked this over in the store last week. Hard pass for me. The legs and the fence setup is not very stable, and the miter/track was sloppy AF. Unimpressed.
If all you need is something to rip boards and panels, you might be better served with a circular saw and guide rail for a lower cost. Even stepping up to a 10-inch circular saw makes more sense to me than spending a buck and a half on this Craftsman saw.

I found this one for anyone who cares.

It didn't really sell it for me, but I'm not refusing it yet. If you want something good right of the box this isn't it though, per the review.

Craftsman only has a 12in rip capacity, Kobalt has a 30in rip capacity.
