That dado stack is decent. Not great, but OK. This one is a lot better and the best bargain dado stack
Irwin Marples 50 tooth blade. Lowes sells these if you don't want to order online. I have a few dozen table saw blades. This is by far the best blade short of a Woodworker II or Tenryu Gold Medal.
If you plan on working with 5/4+ hardwoods, get a 24 tooth diablo rip blade. It makes a big difference
Start with one GR Rripper
if you don't have a dial indicator, get one. You'll need it to adjust for runout
Decide on dust collection. You'll need to install the shroud if you use it, or leave it off if you don't. It's a huge pain in the ass to install after the fact, but can be done. A shop vac isn't recommended, but if you decide to give it a shot, you'll need a 4" to 2.5" reducer. Something like this will keep up pretty well if you just wanted to bite the bullet.
Decide how you are going to cross cut. I prefer a sled, some like a miter gauge. The included one sucks.
Osborne EB3 or the Incra 1000/HD
If you have a PCS/ICS it's a pretty easy setup but the saw is still super heavy, best to have a helper to get it together, especially the wings and tipping the saw upright. The instructions are very easy to follow. I spent an hour or two going over it with a dial indicator but it was a waste of time, mine came pretty much perfect out of the box.
The only thing I don't like about the saw is the miter gauge. It isn't bad for a basic miter gauge, but you'll be much happier with a nicer one like an incra 1000.
I haven't looked at the Kreg KMS7102 Table Saw Precision Miter Gauge System yet, but I like that you can add a sacrificial fence and still use the flip stop.
I did look at the Incra MITER1000SE Miter Gauge Special Edition With Telescoping Fence and Dual Flip Shop Stop and INCRA Miter1000/HD Miter Gauge when I went to Rockler awhile back. Though these both have telescoping fences with dual flip stops, it doesn't look like you can add a sacrificial fence and still use the included fence stops. The sacrificial fence would help reduce tear-out.
