The 8-inch diameter provides controlled cutting performance while maintaining stability during wide dado setups.

This set includes two precision-ground outer blades, six chippers, and a full shim set, allowing users to fine-tune dado widths in .004″ (1/250″) increments. Freud’s Premium TiCo™ HI-Density Carbide Crosscutting Blend is used on all cutting edges to maintain sharpness, resist wear, and produce smooth results with reduced tear-out. The Silver I.C.E. Coating helps prevent pitch and resin buildup while reducing blade temperature during extended cutting sessions.
