I need help.

I get a Dado blade for my 10in table saw for Christmas.

And I don't know which one I should get.

So I would like to know what everyone else uses and what they recommend I get?


Thanks...
Chris

A price range would be very helpful...they run for $20 to > $300.

All things being equal, more teeth tends to mean cleaner cuts. Freuds entry level SD206 & SD208 are both decent sets for < $95....They have 12T cutters and 2T chippers. The DeWalt DW7670 / H7200 (also available as the Delta 35-7670) has 24T cutters and 4T chippers, as well as great shim stock and a really nice carrying case....terrific set for < $125 (on sale from Grizzly for $90). The Infinity Dadonator is the best I've used. IIRC it's on sale for ~ $180....super nice dado.

I use the Freud SD208 & like the cuts that have been produced. I have not used it a whole lot, but enough to get a good feel for the quality. You can pick them up for about $95

Price is not that big of a deal I don't want to spend like more then 200 or so.

I have two cheap Vermont American sets and they
do fine..

One thing to check is the length of the shaft on
your TS. Some don't allow for a dado. Some don't
allow for the adjustable dado blades.

well my table saw it a hitachi c10flct10 and it came with a dado blade insert so I hope that it can do dado blades will have to check the shaft length.

thanks BHOFM

Also check the dado diameter that the saw will allow. You may be limited to 6".
