Self explanatory, this popular dado set is a few cents cheaper than previous deals that made FP. You can scroll the prior deals that will answer a lot of questions.
I also ordered the larger Oshlun SDS-0842 8-Inch 42 Tooth Stack Dado Set with 5/8-Inch Arbor [amazon.com] for $62. 59, but that price just jumped to $70.82 that is still a decent deal.

Some FAQs:
Yes, if you have a 10" table saw, this should be a good blade for your saw.
Yes, you can cut many of the same dados with a router as with a dado set. You can also cut dados using sets like this using a radial arm saw.
No, you do not want an 8" or 10" dado blade for your 10" table saw, unless it's a cabinet saw. As a general rule, if your table saw runs on standard 120V power, you want a 6" or smaller dado set.
Yes, they can double as ninja stars. Practice, practice, practice.

In my book from countless 10" saws used over the years, when I can buy a good 8" for the same or similar price as a 6", it is not that I usually need more depth cut than the 6" provides, but I get more teeth on the 8" blade turning at the same speed for longevity. That 8" Oshlun is superior to the Freud with more teeth on the main blades and even 6 cutters on the chippers.
We used to send out to get sharpened, but at this price for the 6" or the 8" Oshlun, I just give to the saw sharpener guy who cuts me a better deal for when it matters.

We had a local guy that did motor rewinds, but he retired. I have no idea what it would cost to restore a big radial saw that needed motor work. Most of the motor issues with the 10" radials have been bad capacitors, which are cheap. If a bad motor from bad bearings, or bad brushes left to long, they don't seem to be worth repairing.
If a 10" saw can spin a mediocre 6", it can spin a decent quality 8" dado set. For decades, 1.5 to 2.0hp rated, belt driven table saws used 8" dado sets. It is all about the feed rate. Hell, I can choke a 3hp saw with a standard blade, or a 5hp with a dull blade if I feed too fast. Most are not going over 3/4" wide for a dado and most make any depth cuts in multiple passes for a cleaner cut.
Now, if one bought a cheap 8-1/4" saw and it will even hold a dado set, I get it. Then again, I am a total advocate that people should buy whatever they want to buy.

You're right about the capacitors; they're easy and relatively cheap to replace. The brushes and bearings are actually relatively easy to replace as well. The folks on that forum have identified where to source them for the best price and everything. I don't do windings, though. Wouldn't know where to start. My motor work usually consists of just taking apart the motor, cleaning it within an inch of its life, replacing any easy stuff that's bad, doing any cosmetic stuff I plan to do (painting the housing or whatever), reassembling, and testing. Restoring the rest of the machine varies a lot more. For me it's the woodworker's equivalent of restoring classic cars. Sometimes I almost like it more than the actual woodworking.
I have several 8 inch dado blades for my cabinet saw inside my shop.
My opinion is that I am fine with the 6 inch dado blade for the M18 saw given the portability of the cordless option if needed. This purchase will satisfy that option.
Trying to put an 8 inch dado blade into a throat plate that isn't sized for it could cause the blade to make contact with the insert if someone tried to raise the blade too far.

At the moment, I am in a humid climate that seems to be hard on all capacitors and if it hums a little, the first thing I check. When I am in say, arid NM, not so much. Sourcing parts at a reasonable cost is nice to know. Locally, we have an electrical supply house that looks like it has been there a 100 years with old wood floors and now in a poor neighborhood. But the guys working there are sharp and have parts from who knows when at too cheap of a price. I say too cheap, because some of the prices on the parts are a few decades old.
It sounds like you have a hobby that you enjoy.... otherwise, it would be work.

Maybe we can summarize with, 'People that lack common sense should not play with power tools.'
Nobody can think of or list every scenario, anymore than McDonald's can forewarn every customer with a disclaimer/instruction manual that their hot coffee is probably hot.
But yes, for most, if not all 8-1/4" battery table saws running on batteries, yea, I would probably under size. Every battery powered Milwaukee and DeWalt table saw I have used so far, has been under powered. Take your time and they get the job done for portability, but production saws they are not. Maybe the higher voltage ones will be better.
Amazon is the shipper and yes, it has been bouncing around a couple dollars ---but that is the cheapest this week.
The one I bought cheaper was from a third party seller and just received, I would probably pay the small difference for Amazon as the seller.
What's more impressive though, was swapping my standard 10" blade to a 7-1/4... A 40t blade cost me 15$ and ripped thru oak and walnut stock with ease. You can get a 24t Irwin maple 7-1/4 for 6$... Super thin kerf: minimal waste, lower dust, and quieter too... I would think the same principals apply to the dado set (unless you really need that extra rotational mass and depth of cut)
