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.

Freud's 8-inch Super Dado set produces some of the smoothest square-bottom grooves and rabbets possible. 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. Freud's Super Dado set is especially good at producing smooth, chip-free results in plywoods and veneers. It features Freud's unique kickback-reducing design for safe dadoing even when used 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. 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

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.

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).

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.

I purchased this several months ago and have used it quite a bit. I hadn't used all the chippers at one time until the other day. When I attempted to use the chipper I hadn't used before the hole is not round, its oval, so it doesn't fit on the saw. Next, one of the chippers broke. The blade part, which is welded on flew off. I mainly used this with plywood and used my Forrest for other wood. I have to say, there is no comparison between the two in quality and cut.

Timberline has some shill seller accounts they use to deflect negative reviews. They have a lot more negatives than they are showing. If they run one of their bogus offers they charge your card then cancel the order. Then when you go back to the offer it was from one of their front shill sellers so they avoid the negative feedback. Nice way for them to move to the top of the movers and shakers list and then sell at normal price by canceling all the orders at the bait price. AVOID TIMBERLINE theyFreud SD508 Super Dado 8-Inch Stack Dado are bogus!!!!!!
