Cost Reduced Freud SD208 Dado Set
I bought a Freud SD208 dado set from Rockler earlier in the week. It
was locked in a glass cabinet and I didn't take a good look until I got home. This is the new version with silver blades instead of black, and a slightly smaller plastic holder. Still made in Italy. But instead of 5 chippers that came with the old sets with black blades, this set only came with 3 chippers (each 1/8" thick) and 3 thick rigid spacers (in additional to several thin spacers in a bag). I sure wish I had paid more attention when I was at the store. The chart that came with the set only had entries for 3 chippers so I assume nothing is missing. Does anyone have any experience with this set? I haven't tried it yet as I figure it will be easier to return in new condition. |

The D208 has a max cut width of 13/16". |
