I like this set! Good quality, works great. Tad difficult to figure out proper alignment of blade teeth to get best cut, but the finish in hardwoods has been excellent once I got it right.

Works well on my job site saw . Smaller so not as much stress on the motor. Keep in mind that the smaller blades can’t cut as deeply as the 8 inches blade

I bought this for my Powermatic PM2000B table saw.Pros:- Fits my Powermatic PM2000B table saw. 5/8" Arbor- Comes with Shims- Comes with a table that helps with setup on width of your cuts- Great cut quality (no tear outs) super smoothCons:- Arbor size is almost exactly the same size so getting the blades on and off is a hastle.- No instructions for blade setup- Little priceyGreat product overall. Was happy it worked for my Powermatic Table Saw. First time using Dado's so it'll be nice to up my projects and have better joinery.

OK I know it's the first cut but wow it cuts like a hot knife through butter! Clean and sharp, perfect choice. Glad I did my research because the 6" is priced right and the quality of the kit is amazing. I won't need to ever shop any other brand.

Faz dados com excelente qualidade e facilidade. Já usei em madeira dura, mole e compensado. Encaixou perfeitamente na minha Makita MLT100, porém é necessário fazer uma pequena inversão na porca de aperto, em caso de ranguras muito largas (tem vídeos na internet). Podem comprar pq vale a pena. Muito superior a uso de tupia de coluna.

The Freud 6" x 10T Pro Dado Set (SD206) is a great product. I needed to make long grooves in some 12 inch 12 Ft. long stock, and making repeated passes with my regular saw blades didn't cut it.(bad pun). I needed a dado set, and I came across this one on Amazon. The steel used to make the Dado set is quite good. The set includes a good number of spacers to make precise cuts. Even though this set is only 6 inches, it is perfect for making grooves in wood that have to be precise. I'm not a pro woodworker, but this set fits the bill for DiYers who only need to use a dado occasionally, but I'm sure it will be there for the long haul. One thing to remember is that using a dado set requirers a throat plate to accommodate the width of the dado. If you have an older saw, (mine is a 15amp Ryobi that is 15 years old) you may not be able to find a throat plate for your particular saw. I couldn't find a throat plate for my saw, but no worries, I just copied the old throat plate and raised the dado right through it. Works like a charm and it cost me $1 to make it. Great product at a great price.

Ironic that the only way to buy this Italian-made dado in UK is to import from US!Initial impressions are favourable; tried on my radial arm saw without chippers or spacers in the first instance whilst waiting for clarification of the scanty instructions (not helped by the tiny print).The excellent case would be improved by labelling to show what goes where. I notice that the spacers are now labelled with their sizes.Four stars whilst awaiting response from Freud (didn't know the name is from FREsas of UDine) would probably change to five.

I am a hobbyist, but did get a scholarship in woodworking. A router is probably the most versatile tool in any shop, especially if you have a table and mine is no different getting considerable use. My, my dado's, rabbets, etc. were always done on my router table. While I said it is the most versatile, it also means you need to be on your game in terms of router usage and depending on what you want to do, this sometimes means you enter the dangerous climb cut territory as to decrease tear out. I just finished building bathroom cabinets and now, I am building some barn doors. Since I am dealing with 8/4 knotty alder, and I will be renovating my kitchen cabinets as well so I started investigating again. My deal is that I buy the best because I want them to last. My tools, bits and blades reflect that as well, but I did not want to spend $300, hence why I did not have a dado set. Well, I found this, being Freud, I decided to give it a shot and return it if I did not like what I saw.Well, it is impressive. 6" scared me, but thinking through the years, I never needed a dado or groove deeper than an inch, and these blades give more to me, so... In theory, 6" also gives you a little more power, but I have a nice Jet Cabinet saw, so no worries there. Using the set is a pleasure, cutting like butter, no vibration or noise with a very sharp cut. It gives a perfectly flat cut, so that hits my number one requirement for quality in cut. It comes with many spacers as well, even with the thickness stamped, so very helpful. The case is also important as well as it protects your investment and ensures you don't lose parts. If there is a complaint, I would prefer it if it was keyed so you cannot put carbide against carbide. As long as you pay attention when tightening the arbor you will be fine; it only takes a couple seconds to confirm all is well before you tighten.Like another reviewer, the template is inaccurate. The reality though is that we all tend to use just a couple different patterns, so grab the calipers, figure it out, and never worry about it. solid, vs, ply, vs. mdf, vs. melamine are all different, so just create a template for each. There is really no way around this and if you woodwork to any capacity, you do this with everything. Setting tooling up to be square and accurate is the most important step anyway, and if you skip it, you will constantly fight it and your project will show it. So, it's something you should have accepted long ago and if there are two tips I give to everyone who asks me how I do it, I say patience and tool setup. You don't need to have the best tools, but they do have to be setup perfectly. That was free, LOL.

First class product. Well machined, reasonable instructions (although could be somewhat improved), and made in Italy. The cuts overall are unequivocally cleaner and more accurate than the cheaper Chinese made competitors I previously bought from Amazon also.The only improvement that would really make this dado stack better is if the outer blades had more teeth, as this would make the cut a little cleaner in some situations.Essentially, like most things, you get what you pay for.
