Freud 8 In. Professional Dado Saw Blade - SD208

UK Dado issue

I purchased this blade from the US and I live in the UK, based on the prices and Freud quality. It hasn’t disappointed and if your saw is capable of taking this set and you are a domestic customer, it’s brilliant. If though, you are a commercial customer and will be using the set in a business capacity, then do not buy. This set is classed as illegal in the UK as the chippers do not have a chip limiter (see UK HSE website for more info). There are other Freud Dado sets that have the chip limiters, so in hindsight, I would have gone with one of them. For me though, it doesn’t detract from the quality of the set.Read full review

Expected Better From Freud

I had a cheaper Avanti brand 6" Dado set which unfortunately I sold and bought this Freud. Two things are wrong with it: One is there aren't enough shims included to adjust for a close fit. I had to buy additional shims for small adjustments (The Avanti set had plenty of shims for all my needs.) Second when I make a Dado cut the bottom (face of the cut) is not flat. You can see all the teeth ridges especially the inside blade (1st blade inserted on the arbor) the blade must be slightly lower than the rest, because it leaves plus stock. My cheap set was much better than this Freud.Read full review

Great product

Product is well made, has all the needed shims with it to start making dados, and the storage case is great. Instructions come with it and are easy to understand.

Doesn’t cut flat bottom rabbits or dado...

Doesn’t cut flat bottom rabbits or dados. I bought this to replace a H.F. dado set, but the H.F. set actually does a better job. This Freud set is going up for sale on my local Craigslist.

Great Dado Set with nice flat bottom cuts

Great Dado Stack, it leaves a nice flat bottom to the cuts and provides enough cutters and shims that you can dial in your dados to exactly the size you need.
