The Freud Difference
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 the SD500 Product Family
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 About the SD508 Super Dado
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.

It adjusts in 1/32-inch increments, and even finer increments using the included shims. This Freud set is among the best-manufactured and well-designed dado sets available. --Brian Trinen

Summary: The Performance of the SD508 Dado Set is Impressive 2008-10-31
Comment: I am in the process of removing the contractor installed shelving in my wife's laundry room, and I am replacing them with a whole bunch of base cabinets and wall cabinets that I am building. These cabinets will occupy the entire length of two adjacent walls.
The cabinet boxes are built out of 3 / 4 inch Oak laminate plywood. The cabinet side panels and back panels all have a 3 / 4 inch wide and 3 / 8 inch deep dado to receive the cabinet bottom and a 3 / 4 inch wide and 3 / 8 inch deep rabbit to receive the cabinet back.
I made the dados and the rabbits with a brand new, right out of the box Freud SD508 Super Dado Set. The resulting cuts were spectacular. I was more than pleased. As a matter of fact I was really excited to see the beautiful cuts this dado set made.
The cuts were clean. There was no chipping of the laminate, no tear out, and as near as I can tell, the bottom of the dado was perfectly flat. The dado set cut through the plywood with ease. I didn't have to apply any more force to the piece then I would have if I were doing a simple rip using a single blade.
These stellar results were repeated time after time on all the cabinet back panels and side panels. I realize that this dado set was right out of the box and therefore the blades and chippers were probably the sharpest they will ever be, but if the exceptional results I got on this project is any predictor of how this dado set will perform over time then I know that I made a very good purchase and the money was well spent.

Summary: Great blade 2008-10-21
Comment: I purchased the blade based on numerous reviews in magazines and on on-line forums. However, it does leave scoring marks on the outside right blade. Other than that a 5-STAR purchase. Also the price was great too!

Summary: Accurate and gives flat-bottomed dados 2008-08-04
Comment: I purchased this set to replace a Freud dial dado set that would not fit my saw. I used it this weekend on a run of really hard rosewood. No chipout, no tearing, and smooth, flat bottoms. Measurements are right on. Doesn't get any better than that.
My only complaint about this set is the packaging. Freud needs to come up with something more robust than a soft plastic box with a paperweight, blow-molded interior. The interior arrived damaged from the blades.

Summary: great product, lousy package 2008-01-02
Comment: The plastic package was damaged in transit; not surprising given the weight of the blades and the sharpness of the teeth. I cut multiple 3/8 x 1 1/2 dadoes in maple end grain. flawless and effortless. it deserves the highest marks (although Amazon gets a "D-" for packing).

Summary: Best dado yet! 2007-12-17
Comment: So far the cleanest cutting dado I have used. I regret wasting money on the wobble or the El cheapo imports.
Although I have not used the Forrest dado, for the money you really can't beat it. The best $160 I've spent this year.
I believe I got the "blinged" out version, it says ICE coating on the outside and looks to be chrome dipped. Did not come studded with diamonds though.
