Reeeeely? How do those things stack up on your arbor if they have
to be seperated?

The base diameter of each piece is the width that defines the chipper,
blade, etc.

The carbide tooth is perhaps 1/16-3/32 wider than the base diameter
thickness which requires the teeth to be staggered into spaces on
adjacent cutters which is the means used to get a flat bottom dado.
