Was looking for such blade set for my 7480, when checkout it automatically apply the $10 credit of GC Gift For PD21.
Read your owner's manual, because I am betting all liability for using any dado set is on you. If you have a thread or two after mounted, I would use it. Just make sure on any saw that the thinner blade is on top of the threads, or you will not get a flat bottom cut.
PS: Although the common 5/8" arbor, you may have to make or buy a different throat plate for blade clearance.
=========
Before dado sets and as long as the teeth were offset to not touch, my Grandfather stacked regular saw blades with a flat rake tooth for a square bottom. Seemed to work just fine with the only limitation being the length of the saw's arbor.
The OP set has a 20 degree positive rake, so if using with a radial, you want to push into material and not pull.

====================
Years ago and before stacked sets, the dado sets that came out to fit most saws that had shorter shafts, were the somewhat balanced wobble dado blade example [amazon.com] that are still sold and economical in comparison to stacked sets. There are better models than that example, but I am not chasing it down. My Dad used one for years in his home shop and worked fine. I always thought they would be a little hard on the bearings in a commercial shop, but the goods ones did not have the expected vibration.
As for the throat plate discussion, the 1/4" kerf fit into my DW745 but the 3/8" kerf did not. The throat opening was more than 3/8" wide but the arbor position was offset a bit. My suggestion is to just make a throat plate. A bit of a distraction but you can make one in about 30 minutes.
