Freud SD308: 8" Safety Dado Sets

I bought these when they were on sale. It was a very good decision I highly recommend

I bought a table saw especially to do dado's. Researched "Dado Stacks" and this one kept coming up high on any list I looked at. Sort of expensive but well worth the price. I used it to cut wide dado's in 4 x 4 posts, small dado's in 2 x 4's and even 1/2" dado's in 3/4 oak boards for cabinets. Worked perfect, every time.I like the fact it comes with a "key" to tell you which blade to use where and how many to get to the stack width you want to cut. I use it on my 10" DeWalt jobsite table saw. Works great!

I am a cabinet maker and former high school shop teacher. As a result I use dado’s and rabbit’s quite often. This set provides rapid set up and accurate setting. The provided shims allow for the best accuracy I have seen in any dado set. It’s worth the money.

Good, clean cuts in Baltic Birch cabinet grade plywood. My wife's previous dado had a reduced arbor hole thickness; this new set will only allow her to accommodate 1/2" of blades in thickness on the saw's arbor shaft. So have her check the shaft's length before buying.

Been using fued for decades. Can always count on their blades.

Very high quality from Italy. Carbide is very sharp and very thick. Chippers lock into main blades securely. Dado bottoms are very clean and precise. I had no issues with tear-out cutting birch plywood! I highly recommend!

The media could not be loaded. I’ve noticed lately I’ve bought a few Freud blades they’re just not what they used to be. Cutting these maple pieces for these jewelry boxes I just had a lot of problems with the blade trying to cut through.Relative to the last couple blades I bought I ended up using a 30 year old Shop Smith 10 inch combination blade that’s been re-sharpened and it did a lot better job than my brand new fruit blade that I just purchased a few weeks ago.Relative to the data set I’m just really disappointed as it’s just chips out so badly on the exit no matter what I did I just couldn’t control it. Making data cuts if you have to adjust the height I don’t know how your jigs are But I just don’t have enough replacement boards to keep doing a trial and error.I don’t do enough dado work to justify buying a $400 set that have more chippers to help control it relative especially to the chatter this set causes.
