The Freud Professional Dado Blade set features re-sharpenable blades that can deliver a smooth, flat-bottomed groove in a variety of woods. When used on table and radial-arm saws, the blades can cut slots, grooves, dadoes, and rabbets in hardwood, softwood, or plywood with the same high-level of finish quality. They've also been laser-cut and sport carbide tips. In addition, this set has a feature that limits the amount of bite a tooth can take, reducing the risk of kickback. The anti-kickback attribute makes these blades an ideal choice for underpowered saws. Shims are also included in the set to help micro-adjust path width, and the set comes with a limited lifetime warranty.
What's in the Box
2 blades, 5 chippers, and shim set.

- Good Dado - but Does Not Fit Jet XactaSaw Deluxe!
- Great dado set - very high quality, flat-bottom dados. It does not fit the Jet Xacta Saw Deluxe tablesaw, however. While the tablesaw's dust shroud does have a semi-circular cutout, it is not big enough to accommodate the dado set's dial. If possible, you should check for fit on any saw with such a shroud before buying. More reviews
- Infinitely adjustable, yet easy to use.
- I've used this extensively on my Grizzly 1023 table saw with great results. I would highly recommend this blade set to anyone. My advice on using it:
* when you unbox the blades, measure the chipper thicknesses and label them "A", "B", "C", etc., according to the manual. There one that's thinner than the others, and More reviews
- great dado set for cabinetry work
- This my third Freud blade and I agree with all the reviews about how clean and smooth the cuts are. The quality of this blade is excellent! The case is plastic and uses dimpled plastic to separate the outer blades and chippers so there are no damage to the carbide tips.
Once you use the right combination of chippers More reviews
- Splinters, I'm not happy.
- I am using this dado set to build cabinets that are made of quarter sawn red oak. The blade works fine if you cut with the grain but is nearly useless for cutting tenons. Even when using a backer board the wood splinters at the ends. Also, the bottom of the cut is uneven. If you want quality results, look elsewhere. More reviews
- Good Dado Set
- Bought and used on my Ryobi 10" table saw. It makes nice cuts through oak. I would buy this set again. If you buy a cheaper set, make sure they are rated for the RPM of your saw. This set is rated for a Max 11,000 RPM. More reviews
