I need to buy a dado Blade set. Am looking for help in what to buy. Looking in the under $100.00 cost. All suggestions would be helpful. Am looking at the Freud SD208 or the Oshlun SDS-0842 8-Inch 42 Tooth Stack Dado Set. Would be open to all other suggestions.

Hey Michael, I haven't used either one that you mentioned, but I have used the delta dado blades and they aren't bad, come with shims too and a nice case. I am currently using a set from Infinity Tools and they are great, but in the $200 price range.
I currently use Freuds SD206 6'' stack dado carbide tipped blades.
< $90
I find a 6'' is adequate for my dado needs, when made on a table saw.
I get more surface SFM (surface feet per minute), cutting speed, over an 8'' size.
Great tool---makes flat bottom grooves and virtually splinter free cuts.
This set will produce grooves from 1/4" to 13/16" in 1/16" increments.
For less than 1/16" increments, I can fine tune it with shop made spacers.
Hi Michael - First question is whether your saw will take a 8" stack. Check your owners manual. Most direct drive saws specify a maximum of a 6" dado set and many limit that to a 3/4" stack. Various reasons including, but no limited to; power, arbor length, interference factors, etc.
That's the same set I have ken- didn't yours come with some shims? Mine has two 1/16" spacers and several shims ranging from .005 to .020. They weren't marked though so I had to caliper them and note the size on with a sharpie.

John,
I'm sure I got shims, when I bought the blades---
hmmm---
perhaps they're under ''misfiled'', or
they went into the 'ol proverbial ''black hole''.

I saw the video Kreg put out for this new jig and had high hopes for it.
I purchased one today and am very disappointed with it.
First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…
