Does this blade leave a flat bottom in dados?

Technically, yes but not ideal. Note: Don't use this in a dado stack. While it is not meant for a dado stack, you can just make repeated passes to make a groove but it will not be the cleanest. The blade is a combination blade, meaning it has bevel teeth followed by a flat tooth, however; it is also a lower tooth blade, and not ideal for that. It can work but grooves made with it will be rough and will likely not glue well. If you only need rough shaping, it's adequate for that.

What is the width of the blade and the kerf?

Plate Thickness: 0.045 in. The Kerf is 0.071 IN.

The kerf on this is 0.094" why does Dewalt keep saying it's 0.071"?!

I agree. It is frustrating. If it was .071 it would not work with he riving knife that came with the DWE7485 table saw. This is the text on the riving knife; 0.087"(2.2mm)THICK RIVING KNIFE.ONLY USE FOR 8.25" (210mm) § BLADE WITH 0.094" (2.4 mm) MIN. KERF WIDTH AND 0.079"(2.0 mm) MAX BODY THICKNESS BLADE DIRECTION

Will this work with a regular meter saw?

It should work on a 8 inch miters saw for rough cutting as long as it has a 5/8 inch arbor ( which is the shaft size of the saw) and there is clearance in the blade housing for the extra 1/8 inch for the radius.
