The SD500 Series dado sets were the first to include a 3/32" thick chipper and has the flexibility of an adjustable dado to handle todays undersized plywood. This allows the cut width to be adjusted in 1/32" increments and doubles the number of slot widths available.

Smooth cut; a quality blade
By A Customer
I've purchsed Freud blades for my contractors TS before and have been very pleased, so I decided to buy their dado. The quality of this blade is excellent! The case which holds the outter blades, chippers, and shims is a thin plastic but firm foam lines the inside to keep everything supported and in-place. The blades and chippers are kept separated, while they're in the case, by a dimped plastic disks; they seem to do a decent job. As for the cut - smooth and glasslike on both the sides and bottom!! The only thing that bothers me is that the chippers are not labeled. To choose which configuation of chippers for a particular thinkness requires you to mic them.
It cleanly and easily cuts through oak to particle board. No chipping or tear out.
The only improvement to this dado blade would be to stamp the chipper with its thickness. Otherwise it is a very good purchase.

By John R Malmquist
Having two dado sets already, I was frustrated that I couldn't get a chip-free cut in oak plywood. Even though I felt that the $154 price of this set was steep, I decided to try it. What a pleasure! I only have one suggestion: color code the shim stock so that quick placement is possoble. As it is now, you have to mic each shim to get what you want. I used some nail polish to color-code each one, but Freud could do us all a favor and identify each different size when the product is made. I would certainly recommend this dado set to anyone-beginner or experienced!

Very sharp grooves
By A Customer
I just bought this dado set and used it to mill about 15 1/2" dados in red oak. At first I had to check to make sure I was cutting. This set is almost as smooth as my Forrest WWII! The dados were very sharp with perfectly flat bottoms. No shims were required. Although a lot of money, I think it is well worth it. Better to buy a great product once than a poor one first.
My only complaint is that the shims are not coded in any way. Would be nice to see some color coding for thickness. If not for that, this product would get 5 stars.
