Default wobble dado

That Freud set is likely the dual set to have fine sets like that.
It is likely an expensive set as well. Not the old imperial sets that
are moving in 1/8 or 1/4".

The wobble is tough on a saw and a pain to use but is universal. I used
mine on 4x4 benches. When working on Metric Ply I got a nice Freud set
likely like yours - about 6 or so years ago - sounds like they have
small and large sets that are universal now.

But the shims are not all sizes. If you get Imperial - e.g. an
old version - you can't get down to the metric 3/8" (imperial

If you are in 3/4 it isn't and wood plank - as well... Ply is
coming from sites world wide. Some hardwood and some softwood.

I have no issue what so ever using the standard Forrest dado set to
cut for any plywood. You do not need standard and metric. Any more,
hardly any wood veneer plywood is consistent in thickness.


I agree. Any more, if you get a sheet that is the exact specified
thickness, they got lucky. :-)

Heck, you're probably better off having a metric set for "Imperial
plywood" and an Imperial set for "metric plywood." Given the over-under
of each, you're likely to get a better fit with the opposite set.


I have no idea what you're on about. The Freud
shim set (available separately from their blades
by the way) allows the stack thickness to be
adjusted in units of approximately 1/10 of a mm,
which is pretty close to 1/256 of an inch. You
can get close enough to any English or metric
dimension for any practical woodworking purpose
with that.
