My saw's arbor is pretty much threaded the whole length. I've never had a
problem with it.
The 5/8" arbor on the blades fit it really snugly. Can be a pit of a pain to
get the blades on/off.
I dont have nay trouble with accuracy etc when using any kind of blade,
normal or stacked dado.
Having to add spacers would be a bigger hassle in my opinion.
