OshlunSDS-0842 8-Inch 42 Tooth Stack Dado Set with 5/8-Inch Arbor

I have a US made table saw imported several years ago. It has a 5/8th arbor that is 38mm long and a separate saw plate to accommodate the wider blade. It also has enough horsepower to drive the considerable weight that the full set of these will add to your motor. Don't even think about buying this set if you haven't got something similar. And don't consider fitting them onto a chop saw!The full stack is very heavy and if not comfortably secured could wreak havoc in your workshop. As it is the performance is fantastic. Effortless and crisp clean rabbets and dadoes performed in seconds. The blades are uber sharp and the shims supplied mean you can achieve cuts in tiny increments up to just shy of an inch per pass. Being a US product it is sized in Imperial but you can easily convert to metric (I use a micrometer and just hit the convert button). You need to remove a conventional blade guard assembly but you can retain a riving knife if yours doesn't sit higher than the blade although it serves no purpose here being a fraction of the width of the cut. I don't buy into the idea that these are dangerous - any number of tools in the wrong hands can kill you. Just make sure you are fitting them to the right machine. Highly recommended.

Just bought these so time will tell how good they are, arrived fast highly recommend, thanks seller. Bought these for my Evolution rage 5s, won't be able to use them to there full capacity, but it will do for my jobs. Came in a strong ish box, keep everything tidy. As I have said very heavy watch you don't drop them on your feet.

Value for money

Well made, having only used single blades before surprised by the stacked weight. Needs a robust motor. My Ryobi RA 2500 copes well. Be aware of the increased 'bite' and allow for it.

The 6in set allows my Bosch saw nearly a 1 inch wide by 1 inch deep groove. All I'll ever need. Lovely sharp 90deg corners. Just now I'm setting up a jig with sizes and settings. Hard to imagine how a dado stack could improve on the Oshlun? Bosch have been a bit miserly with my saw arbor length, although there is room for a little more length, might prove restrictive in time. However, that's not Oshlun's fault! If the ultimate width size (the whole stack) is important to you, beware! Lastly, zero detectable vibration. If you need to hog out a very wide deep groove this is the stack for you. It motors!

just the job

Bought this as I've got to make 20 drawers with finger joints out of 6 mm birch ply. just using the two blades without the chippers all the cuts are clean and accurate. Very happy all round.

Great product extremely pleased.ThanksCraig White UK

I'm just a hobbyist woodworker, but I prefer quality tools - especially if they aren't too expensive. This dado set fits that description perfectly. Smooth, clean, flat bottom dados with no tear out. My first project with this set was in red oak, and I don't know how the set could have performed any better. Years ago, I bought an adjustable dado set - two blades mounted on a center hub that would let you tilt the blades in or out to change the width of you dado. Total junk. Literally could not make a flat bottom due to the design. Don't know if that type of dado set is still made, but if you see one, avoid it at all costs. I selected this Oshlun set because I thought the full blade multi-tooth chippers and the high tooth count on the outside blades would give a cleaner cut than the sets with fewer teeth and wing chippers with only two teeth. Don't know if that's true, but I am completely happy with the results I got with this Oshlun set. No regrets spending the money at all. The only negative is the advertised storage / carry case is simply a cardboard box with foam cutouts. Still a 5 star product.

Muy recomendable y muy barato..lo mejor!!

Pelo valor da mercadoria, merecia uma embalagem melhor, as lâminas intermediárias vieram umas sobre as outras, dependendo do cuidado(falta dele) no transporte, pode acarretar em quebra dos dentes por atrito.Aconselho uma nova embalagem. O meu chegou bem, nenhuma avaria aparente. Resta agora testar para ver se tudo cabe na DW7492.

Works very well, especially given relatively low cost. Produces nice, smooth bottom slots with clean sides. Has very complete set of chippers and shims, permitting wide array of cut widths. Note that for most applications, there is no advantage to getting a dado stack of diameter over 6”; you rarely need to make cuts deeper than the 6” will, larger units cost more, and require much more powerful saw to work properly. Also note that on many table saws, especially contractor type, the motor mandrel may not be long enough to accommodate all the supplied chippers and shims, limiting the slot width below the max specified. You will also need to omit mandrel washer/stiffener to maximize cut width, but units works well and is safe with retaining nut alone as long as at least 3 threads visible. Also note for best results you will need a dado-wide insert specific to your saw, which can be hard to find, but are pretty easy to make.

No he probado ni otras marcas, ni en otras sierra. Tengo la sierra de mesa venir y me ha funcionado de maravilla. No puedo sacarle todo el rendimiento porque el eje no me permite más de 10 mm, pero me ha gustado como trabaja. Hay que ir más lento que con un corte normal, pero es de esperar ya que tiene que quitar más material. Por lo demás, estoy muy contento con el set, y sé que me va a durar mucho tiempo
