Tools and Hardware Reviews of Freud SD508 Super Dado 8-Inch Stack Dado
Customer Review: Great blades, poor packaging
Summary: 4 Stars
Most of us consider a $200 set of table saw blades to be quite an investment. Certain things are expected with a purchase like this. Packaging that is the exact same as what surrounds a barbie doll is not one of them. My $100 cordless drill has a thick case with secure latches and solid support for the drill. Imagine the disappointment when I opened the amazon box and discovered a flimsy plastic case that looks like it should contain a toy. No big deal I thought, until I opened the case and found a broken plastic clam shell surround, with paper thin clam shell discs separating the blades. Now I read some reviews from folks who commented positively on this case. Seriously!? This is dollar store packaging. Indeed, the same stuff your take-out meal is packed with is the exact same material your new $200 stack dado is surrounded by. Thank goodness the blades were OK and are outstanding. Sharp, heavy, well made, with minimal batman ears on the cuts. Blades certainly worthy of a solid, secure case and surround. The only reason I didn't give this 3 stars or lower is because of the quality of the blades, which is what really matters. If you are planning on using this set on job sites you better plan on building a custom case for them as this one won't last a farting spell. I already have plans to construct them a real storage case, however for $200 I shouldn't have to.

The SD500 series of dado sets cuts everything from veneered plywoods and laminates to solid wood, chip and splinter-free with a super smooth, flat bottom. These dado sets were the first to include a 3/32-inch thick chipper and offer the flexibility of an adjustable dado to handle today's undersized plywood. This allows the cut width to be adjusted in 1/32-inch increments and doubles the number of slot widths available. A shim set is also included with the dado set for fine adjustments. Use it on all table saws, and radial arm saws for cutting slots, grooves, dadoes, and rabbets in softwood or hardwood

Freud's 8-inch Super Dado set produces smooth, square-bottom grooves and rabbets. Stacked dado sets like this one are more accurate and reliable than wobble dados, which leave a rounded bottom in the groove and can cause splintering and chipping. But Freud's Super Dado set is especially good at producing smooth, chip-free results in plywoods and veneers. This set features Freud's unique kickback-reducing design for safe dadoing even when you're using it in a radial-arm saw. The set includes two outside blades, six four-wing chippers, and a set of shims, and it stores in a handy protective case.
Applications
Use this dado set to cut veneered plywoods, laminates, solid wood, chip and splinter-free woods. This set is not recommended for non-ferrous, ferrous metals, or masonry.
Warranty
Freud blades are covered by a limited lifetime guarantee.
