Dear Randy,
Yes, the SawStop TSDC-8R3 dado brake cartridge is designed for use with 8" dado sets and requires a cartridge change from the standard blade cartridge. This is necessary because dado sets, which consist of multiple blades and chippers, have a larger surface area that can activate the safety system. The dado brake cartridge is specifically designed with a larger brake pawl to accommodate the increased surface area of a dado stack.
Thanks,
Kevin
