Don't listen to that stuff about 'Crapsman'. He's probably not seen the new line or just has a hangup from the crap they put out in the past. They aren't Unisaws, but the new Craftsman saws are quite nice and are comparable in every aspect to other saws in the same 'contractor' saw price range.
I am by no means an expert, but as for the dado issue: I have the 22114 and the Freud Diablo stacked blade I got at HD on sale for 79.00 or so a while back. I make 3/4" wide dadoes just fine. IIRC for 3/4" they use all but one of the chippers and two of the small shims so its pretty thick. I can still get the arbor washer on and manage enough turns of the nut to feel confident it was secure. I don't know how thick the center of the wobble dado cutter you have is but it may be that its just too big. Maybe the body of your dado cutter fulfills the role of the washer and its not needed? Check the documentation that came with it. But most of all go by this mantra...
IF YOU DON'T FEEL SAFE DOING SOMETHING, DON'T DO IT!!!!! Buy a new dado set that fits and make more small passes. No need to get yourself hurt or worse gambling that something is safe when it may not be.
