Hello Folks,
During my next trip to the US, Iâm planning to get a dado cutter set for
my TS (4 HP, max. 12â blades). Unfortunately, we canât get the
affordable ones any more here in Germany for security reasons.
Two questions:
What is your recommendation for a good quality set which can be mail
ordered in advance to the address of a friend in the US?
Are you aware of sets for 30mm arbors or a commercial source for 5/8 to
30 mm adaptors?
TIA

Well obviously. If they'd been using better quality tools they
wouldn't have needed to have whole piles of them lying around, would
they? Plus if that had been a Festool circular saw the Good Guy would
have been obligated to stop and play with it, thus getting the Pretty
Girl kidnapped.

I'm not. Forgive me, or rather this stupid ass ISP. They screwed up again!!
Disregard things that look out of place, because they are. Wasn't my fault.
Well I guess it is, I should really get a better news reader.

OK, now I understand you. I had mental images of terrorists throwing
dado blades around like a ninja's shuriken.

Bob answered his question succinctly and included a couple of links to
two different manufacturers, including Forrest, within an hour of the
OP's original post, so I'm not sure what you mean about useless
nonsense.

Have you ever scaled a circular saw blade at a tree? It's lots more
fun than a frisbee.

I agree 100 per cent about the Nanny State stuff, on the other hand
it's
good to be aware of the damage a dado setup can do. As part of your
community service and classroom time children I'll describe something
I did as a novice - The 5 blades were set up for dadoing and in the
meantime I needed to rip a board. The amount of waste didn't matter
and I didn't feel like changing the blade, so I began the rip. The
wood
began to warp and there was a big boom! and the piece flew into my
solar plexus, knocking the wind out of me. The next day I noticed that
the blade was out of parallel with the table. The force of the wood
jamming against the blade actually bent the trunnion of the saw!

Forrest will do custom arbor sizes for their dado sets. Their sets are very
good.

Amanatool will also do 30 mm bores

A great blade can be limited by the equipment it is mounted on.
If your equipment is not built or set up to the same tolerances as the blade
you may never see the blades full potential. Additionally, will the $100
Forrest hold up as long as the Forrest?

Fairly common with table saw blades is the fact that the less expensive
sets, even within the same brand name, will not be able to go through as
many sharpening cycles as their more expensive brethren and still maintain a
superior cut.

Damn guys, give the fellow a break!
Looks like you posted the question to the wrong group, if you want my
opinion! All you've gotten so far is useless nonsense about how you say
something, pronounce something, and crap like that. Then they start off with

Years ago, I was watching a low-budget martial arts movie on TV, one of those
films that's so bad it's good because it's unintentionally funny... and in one
scene, the Bad Guys are chasing the Good Guy and the Pretty Girl through a
warehouse. The Good Guy has run out of throwing stars (Oh, NO!!), and just as
the Bad Guys are closing in, he and Pretty Girl run past a pile of blades for
portable circular saws (which just conveniently happened to be laying there).
Good Guy grabs some and throws them at the Bad Guys, stopping them in their
tracks. Good Guy turns to Pretty Girl and says, deadpan -- and I swear I'm not
making this up, he really said this -- "Thank God for Black and Decker."

You would have thought that Black and Decker would have grabbed this up and
used it for a commercial.
Since their target audience is probably the same guys who watch this sort of
thing.
(Sorry about that Doug)
As 30mm is far larger than 5/8, an adapter would not be possible. While any
of the manufacturer would probably custom bore a set to your specifications,
Forrest is most likely to do it reasonabley.

I have a 10" dado set for my 12" 5hp table saw, I also needed a 1"-5/8"
adapter. I got mine from Ridge Carbide (www.ridgecarbidetool.com) it came
with the adaptor. I don't use it commercially but see no reason you
couldn't. They could make you a set with a custom arbor size I just did not
need it for my usage. I would deal with them again.

Apparently they have some kind of regulation about how fast the saw has to
stop and dado blades add enough inertia that the saw won't stop within the
allowed time.
Fellow I used to work with came to the US in the early 40s due to having the
good fortune to survive an encounter with the 82nd Airborne. A few years
ago he went back to Germany to visit relatives--first time he had been back
since he was captured. His comment was that they lived really well, had
nice houses, beautiful furniture, and there wasn't enough money in the
whole world to induce him to move back there.

I'm guessing from his name that English is not Herr Muehe's first language,

What are you talking about? Particularly, why say that in response to *me*?
All I did was to explain to someone else why a (presumably) non-native speaker
of English might have written "security" when he meant "safety".

All tools with manual feed used in commercial environments must have a
chip thickness control/limitation as otherwise something could get
caught and fire back. AFAIK this is the reason. This would not
necessaryly apply for private use, but the commercial market is gone ....

At least in Germany, they can have them. In the UK, they can't sell a table
saw with an arbor long enough to take a dado blade.

Ahh, I see. I guess it's just one of those things where I'm inclined
to think the Freuds are good enough, despite the assertion I've seen
that Forrest is a better brand. I've been running a Diablo for about
three years, and it still hasn't needed a sharpening- so even if it
can't be resharpened at all (unlikely at best, but you never know) I'm
not going to lose any sleep over $40 every three or four years.
And the other side of the more/less expensive argument is that one of
my Freuds (not the Diablo, of course) costs more than the low end
Forrest anyhow. Ditto for the suggested retail price on the laminate
blade I got from Delta. The question has to arise as to which is
better then, as the "you get what you pay for" argument seems to be
the one that most commonly gets used when it comes to blades and bits.
Of course, I'm not running production, either- at most that blade gets
run is about 15 hours a week. I might change my tune if my home
shop's blades are ever called on to run 40+ hours a week. But until
they do, it'll be a moot point. I can't see worrying about a blade
that leaves glassy-smooth cuts on hardwood because it doesn't have a
reputation of being the absolute best. :)
Now back to the OP- you said you can't buy a dado stack because of
security (safety?) issues. So will you be able to get the thing
sharpened, or is it a one-shot sort of thing? It may well be worth
your while to go for the best set (which is the Forrest, by general
concensus) to limit furtively searching for someone to tune the blades
up if the saw sharpeners are not allowed to work on them. AFAIK,
Forrest does the sharpening and re-truing on their own sets via mail.
On the other hand, Europe isn't that big- and Freud is based in Italy.
Can't you buy a dado stack factory direct and bring it home in your
luggage? Or don't they sell them there, either?
Matthias,
I'm a hobbyist. I have the cheaper Freud set (about $100 street price), and I don't understand how
another brand could be better. But I don't run nearly the number of feet of dados in a year that
some of the others here do. Maybe after another year or two I could see some deterioration, but
right now it cuts flat bottoms, I've had it a couple of years and am delighted.
I don't see how a Forrest (as someone else recommended) could be much better than the Freud, but
I've never used one. However, I do have a Forrest WW2 on my table say. It performs so much
better than any other blade I've used, maybe I am missing something on the dado set.
Regards,
Roy

That's been my experience with the Freud products. Not saying Forrest
isn't better, but it's hard to say *how* it is better, unless it's
