Description

8" x 22T Safety Dado Sets Clean edges, square shoulders, and flat bottoms: the Freud SD308 Eight-Inch Safety Dado Set cuts with ultimate precision, so you can achieve them all. Boasting razor-sharp outside blades, thick MicroGrain carbide tips, and an anti-kickback design, this is your go-to set for safely and efficiently creating dadoes and grooves spanning 1/4 to 13/16 inch. This versatile kit cuts a wide range of materials from hardwood to laminate.Razor-Sharp Blades for Smooth, Splinter-Free Dadoes The perfect dado set for the fine cabinetmaker or weekend woodworker, the Freud SD308 produces dadoes and grooves that meet with flush, even edges. So you can be assured of precise cuts every time, the set is equipped with precision-grade features, starting with two proprietary razor-sharp outside blades.These high-quality eight-inch, 22-tooth blades with 5/8-inch arbors cut dadoes and grooves that are clean, flat, and virtually splinter free. Cuts made by these blades are accurate the first time, saving you from making repeated passes over the same workpiece. Flexibility for Cutting Hardwoods, Laminates, and More The Freud SD308 fits all table saws and radial-arm saws and accommodates a wide range of materials, so you can use it from project to project. Use it to create dadoes and grooves in hardwood, softwood, chip board, plywood, and laminate (not recommended for non-ferrous materials).Two- Wing Chippers for Truly Flat-Bottom Grooves The set's five included chippers (four 1/8-inch chippers and one 1/16-inch chipper) save you time and energy. With their two-wing design, they efficiently remove waste material and smooth the edges of your workpiece. Plus, with the help of the included Shim Set, you can fine-tune your cuts from 1/4 to 13/16 inch in 1/16-inch increments amd adkist the kerf width by as little a .04 inches.Anti-Kickback Design for Safe Operation The quality of this dado set is enhanced by its anti-kickback design, which gives you an added margin of safety while you work.MicroGrain Carbide Tips for Long-Lasting Performance So you can get maximum performance out of this set, the blade components are constructed with Freud's TiCo Hi- Density Carbide. This means the blades can withstand numerous sharpenings and still retain their precision. And a Tri-metal Brazing process gives the blades impact resistance, so they last for the long term without dulling (a condition that can cause torn wood and uneven cuts).About Freud: A History of Innovative Manufacturing An industry leader for more than 50 years, Freud America, Inc. is a manufacturer and marketer of superior carbide cutting tools for the woodworking industry. Freud is the only manufacturer of woodworking tools in the world that produces its own MicroGrain Carbide with Titanium, called TiCo, a high-density combination of Titanium and Cobalt.By producing its own carbide, Freud has the unique ability to formulate each tool for each specific application, thereby maximizing the cutting life and performance of the tool. Freud's full line of high-quality woodworking tools includes saw blades, router bits, shaper cutters, power tools, and more.This product is covered by Freud's Limited Lifetime Warranty.What's in the Box Freud SD308 Eight-Inch Safety Dado Set with two eight-inch outside blades (with 5/8-inch arbors), shim set, four 1/8-inch chippers, one 1/16-inch chipper, and a storage case. From the Manufacturer Cut slots, grooves, dadoes, and rabbets in softwood, hardwood, plywood, or laminated chipboard. Used on table saws and radial-arm saws, these safety dadoes will produce grooves from 1/4 to 13/16 inches in width (1/16-inch increments). Through the use of AKD limiters on both sides of the outside blades and chippers, the dangers of kickback from overfeeding and climbing on radial arm saws have been reduced. Set includes two 8-inch, 24-tooth blades with a 5/8-inch arbor, and one 1/16-inch and four 1/8-inch chippers.

  • Good, clean cuts in birch plywood
Style: 8-Inch Safety Dados
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.

  • I highly recommend this one!
Style: 8-Inch Safety Dados
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! ... show more

  • Best ever
Style: 8-Inch Safety Dados
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.

  • Clean cut especially on the exit.
Style: 8-Inch Safety Dados
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. ... show more

Slight tear outs with the box cuts. Otherwise it worked great, simple to set up and use.

  • Very happy
Style: 8-Inch Safety Dados
These blades suit me very well. I'm just an amateur woodworker. My rabbets turned out really well with these. I also like the case that stores everything. Very happy with the quality of the cuts.

  • Awesome quality cuts!
Style: 8-Inch Safety Dados
Excellent construction, wonderful and precise cuts. Great value for the money. A nice to have feature would be a 1/16" chipper.
