Freud manufactures some of the most innovative, technologically advanced saw blades in the world. To ensure that the highest quality products meet the toughest design standards, Freud owns and operates six manufacturing facilities in Western Europe. Freud is one of the few manufacturers of woodworking tools in the world that produces its own MicroGrain carbide with titanium, called TiCo -- a combination of titanium and cobalt. Freud develops different types of carbide for each application to maximize the cutting life and performance of the tool; and Freud also operates one of the most modern product development research centers in Europe. By overseeing the entire manufacturing process from start to finish, Freud guarantees some of the highest quality, most advanced products in the industry. About Freud's Dado Sets
Whether you're a skilled professional or a weekend hobbyist, Freud has a dado for you. The SD608, Freud's Dial-A-Width Dado, has a patented dial system for easy and precise adjustments while offering extremely accurate cuts. The SD300 Series adds a level of safety not found in other manufacturers' dadoes, while the SD200 Series provides the quality of cuts you expect from Freud, at an attractive price. About the 8-Inch Professional Dado Set
This kit gives you Freud's quality and craftsmanship in a stacked dado set, but at a wobble dado price. The negative hook angles make flat bottom grooves and virtually splinter-free cuts, and this dado has two outside blades with five two wing chippers. This makes it ideal for underpowered saws because it requires less power to feed. All blades and chippers come with Freud's anti-kickback design. This resharpenable set will produce grooves from 1/4 to 13/16-inch in 1/16-inch increments. This dado set comes with a shim set and carrying case as well as instructions on how to make basic dado sizes. Applications
This set is ideal for creating flat-bottom grooves and virtually splinter-free cuts in hardwoods, softwoods, chip board, plywood, or laminate -- but it's not recommended for ferrous metals or masonry. Warranty
This set is covered by Freud's limited lifetime warranty.
Amazon.com Review
Freud's 8-inch professional dado set delivers a very smooth flat-bottomed groove. This stack, when used on table and radial-arm saws, cuts slots, grooves, dadoes, and rabbets in hardwood, softwood, or plywood with the same high level of finish quality. The blades are resharpenable. They've also been laser-cut and sport carbide tips. In addition, this stack has a feature that limits the amount of bite a tooth can take, reducing the risk of kickback--for this reason, in fact, Freud suggests this set for underpowered saws. We tested this set on our 3-horsepower Powermatic model 66 (plenty of power) and found the results satisfying: smooth, with very minimal splintering. Shims are also included in this set to help you microadjust your width. This stack is a great tool for the home hobbyist who prefers not to spend a lot of money but still wants quality results. --Dori Anvinson

 Dado Blades August 10, 2008
As with all my purchases it was received on time and without damage. I like the carrying/storage case. The dado cut clean with flat bottoms. I have not cut anything wider than .375 but it cuts easyly without extra pushing pressure. For very little money I have purchased a tool that will last a lifetime. I am a garage woodworker and use it very little, but Its a tool that all woodworker must have.
 great March 26, 2008
my first dado blade, excellent product cut flat bottom and accurate dados the first time.
Excellent Dado for Under $100 (sometimes under $80) March 25, 2008
This is an excellent dado for the price. You could pick up a better one, but you'll probably pay an extra $75 or more. It creates smooth, flat bottomed dadoes in red oak, pine, and MDF. I haven't tried it on anything else. The set comes with a reasonable set of shims, which allowed me to cut the precise widths that I needed.
I borrowed a friend's and liked it so much that I bought my own without hesitation. I would highly recommend it.
dead flat March 10, 2008
Couldn't be happier. Dead flat bottom dados, well made components, great price. Recommend with reservation.
Great Dado set January 28, 2008
