Designed to produce smooth, chip-free dadoes and grooves every time, this set is designed to take on a wide range of materials, from hardwoods to laminates. For exceptional precision, the blade width can be adjusted in 1/32-inch increments, while the included shim set allows for even finer adjustments.Razor-Sharp Blades for Smooth, Splinter-Free DadoesThe perfect dado set for the fine cabinetmaker or weekend woodworker, the Freud SD508 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, 24-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, Veneers, and MoreThe Freud SD508 fits all table saws and radial-arm saws and accommodates a wide range of materials, so you can keep it on hand 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).Adjustable Dado and Shim Set for Achieving Perfect WidthProducing the perfect dado is often reliant upon finding the perfect blade width. Designed with that mind, this set virtually doubles the number of slot widths available. First, its adjustable dado allows exceptionally fine-tuned adjustments in 1/32-inch increments. It also features a handy shim set for those jobs that call for even finer blade-width adjustments.And for greater versatility, the set's six chippers include a unique 3/32-inch chipper along with four 1/8-inch chippers and one 1/16-inch chipper. These chippers' four-wing design is a step above the common two-wing design of most chippers. This means your chippers will work efficiently to remove waste material and smooth the edges of your work pieces.Anti-Kickback Design for Safe OperationThe 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 PerformanceSo 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 superior 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 ManufacturingAn industry leader for more than 50 years, Freud America, Inc. is a manufacturer and marketer of superior carbide cutting tools for the woodworking industry.

I was concerned with using an 8" stack with a 1-1/2 hp delta contractors saw, but so far it's working out great--even with all the blades installed. I don't have any experience with other dado stacks, but to my eye the cuts from the SD508 are superb. Clean, flat bottoms and sides. No chip out at all. The only thing that is a hassle (not unique to Freud) is that it IS a dado stack. Putting the both cutters and the chippers together for a cut can be a chore. Now I know why Bill Hylton says avoids using a dado stack in favor of using a router to make dados in some of his books. :-) Other reviewers said that they had a hard time judging which chipper is which. There are 4 in the set. Two 1/8", one 3/32" and one 1/16". I found that looking at them carefully from the side made it easy enough for me to determine the widths without resorting to using a dial caliper or other measuring device. The box the blades come in is nice, sturdy and protects the blades well. Just make certain the tabs to hold it closed are secure. Otherwise there's the potential for all your blades to fall out if you aren't careful. There's a dvd with an intro on how to use the dado, as well as a chart that tells you which cutter and chipper combos will produce a certain size dado/groove, that comes with the set. The dvd is specific to the dial-a-width product and really doesn't cover much other than the 'basic of basics' on how to use the dado. It also has a plan on it for a dado sled. One other thing. Using any saw blade can be dangerous; using a full dado stack the first time can be VERY intimidating and dangerous if you aren't careful. Make sure all your safety gadgets are in place so you can deal with the intimidating part so you don't 'accidently' experiance the dangerous part of while using it. That said, after making a full depth, clean bottomed dado in one pass, all I can think to say is "sweet"! Feeling intimidated by all those spinning blades quickly fades to healthy respect. Review: Excellent blade - As I state in most of my reviews, I don't mind paying a little more to get a little more. If you're like me, this is the blade for you. I'm building a built-in wine rack for my house and wanted to use veneer plywood for the carcass. Well, as anyone knows, you need a _damn_ good blade to crosscut a dado in veneer plywood with no tear-out. This blade performed magnificently. Setup was a snap with the chart. Look up the thickness that you need in the manual, and it tells you which size chipper to use in conjunction with the outside blades. The bottom of the dado was so sqaure that you could use it on an exposed joint, such as a bookcase. The top of the dado was razor sharp and the fit was perfect. Also, this comes complete with a nice, metal, shim set. I've used the paper shim set in the past and you can never get a duplicate thickness once you've torn down the blade. Tighten the arbor screw a little more then last time, compress the paper a little mode and , viola, a thinner dado. Not the case with the metal shims here. One last thing to add is the carry case is a nice touch. Each of the blades and chippers are separated with a plastic ring. The entire thing filts in a small brief-case looking case. Again, well worth the money if you don't mind spending it.... ## Features - Specs: Arbor 5/8", Chippers (4)1/8",(1)3/32",(1)1/16", Diameter 8", Teeth 24 - Adjusts in .004" or 1/250" increments - Features Premium TiCo HI-Density Carbide Crosscutting Blend for Maximum Performance - Silver I.C.E.

Is this set worth the extra money compared to the other sets?** A: If you only have one dado to make and the $100.00 set is the right size then buy that one. You can do this three more times and save money. If you have to make more than four dados you will save money with the Freud kit. **Q: can i make a 7/8" cut** A: Yes. Steve **Q: Any reason I cannot use 1/8 inside chipper and 3/32 chipper for 7/32 dado? Chart in description shows you cannot cut 7/32 dado. Thank you.** A: You can not use the interior chippers without using the outside cutters. The smallest,dado,you can make is 1/4”. To make smaller cuts just use a regular blade and make 2 passes **Q: Where is it made?** A: Mine was manufactured in Italy, great product, packaging is absolutely ridiculous for the money u spend, think of easter and chocolate bunnys, thats what it arrive in, if your teeth aint broken consider yourself lucky. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent product! *by S***R on June 30, 2006* I'm very pleased with the way this dado set is working out.

Again, well worth the money if you don't mind spending it.... ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not perfect, but no deal breakers *by T***Y on December 27, 2025* If you read the reviews, like I did, BEFORE you buy this, you know the case is no longer included. *** AMAZON - CHANGE THE PICTURE WHICH SHOWS THE CASE *** Yes, the blades are not labeled with their size or the letter designation in the chart indicating which blades to use to make up a stack for a specific dado. You can easily measure the width of the plate (not the cutting head) and mark it on the chipper with a Sharpie. I wish they had marked the blades like the model number was done, but it's not a deal breaker. On my first series of test cuts I did see a small high line in the dado bottom. But that was easily removed with a pass with a chisel. HOWEVER, in my 2nd series of test cuts on undersized plywood, I never saw a ridge. I made sure to use all the blades, but all the bottoms were smooth. The order in which the blades are set in the stack might have something to do with the tiny ridge I experienced at first. I don't know how the order could make a difference, but for now, that's all I got, and I can deal with it if it happens. I am impressed with the quality of the cuts on plywood, softwood and hardwood. Bottom line: Should have a case OPTION if they are not going to include it. Should have blade sizes etched in the chippers. For the price, compared to others at twice the price, the cuts are smooth and accurate. ## Frequently Bought Together - Freud Super Dado Sets with Premium TiCo Hi-Density Carbide Crosscutting Blend for Maximum Performance - 8" Diameter, 24 Teeth, 5/8" Arbor - SD508 - SAWSTOP BRAKE CARTRIDGE, 8" DADO BLADE (BLUE) - SawStop Dado Lock Down Insert --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/4136732-sd508-8-super-dado-sets](https://www.desertcart.us/products/4136732-sd508-8-super-dado-sets) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-04-27*
