Freud Pro Dado Set with Premium Tico Hi-Density Carbide Crosscutting Blend for

The Freud Pro Dado Set is built for woodworkers who need clean, flat-bottom grooves for joinery, cabinetry, and shelving. It handles diverse materials including solid hardwood, melamine, and laminated plywood. The package includes two outer blades, three chippers, spacers, and a precision shim set, giving you the hardware needed to dial in exact cutting widths.

Groove widths range from 1/4 inch up to 7/8 inch. The included shims and spacers let you make micro-adjustments so your joints fit snugly, which is especially helpful when dealing with undersized sheet goods. The teeth feature Freud TiCo hi-density carbide with a dedicated crosscutting blend, designed for cutting durability and consistent edge precision across repeated cuts.

For blade maintenance and smoother running, the set features a Silver I.C.E. coating that reduces friction, dissipates operational heat, and resists pitch build-up. Additionally, the set is specifically engineered to perform smoothly on safety-equipped brake saws as well as lower-powered and other compatible saw models.

Keep in mind that the product specifications do not state the overall blade diameter, arbor size, or specific tooth count. You will want to verify your table saw arbor dimensions and clearance before purchasing to ensure proper fit.
