I ordered this stabilizer to mount on my DeWalt dw746 tablesaw.  I had been using a DeWalt 5" stabilizer plate with a Forrest WWII thin kerf blade.  At 5" in diameter, the DeWalt stabilizer effectively limited my depth of cut to about 2.5".  After trying out the Freud 3.5" stabilizer, I can honestly say that I didn't lose any noticeable performance, and I gained enough blade clearance to once again rip/crosscut 3" stock.
