Freud SD208 or Oshlun SDS-0842

[Jim Andrew]

Searched for the Freud 8" dado, and both of these dados came up, about same price, but the oshlun is 42 tooth. Can anyone comment on which is better?

[Bruce Wrenn]

Look at the Delta ( I think the # is 7640)from Cripe Distributing. About the same price (delivered,) and highly rated.

No experience with the Freud but I can back the Oshlun. Cuts clean, flat bottomed grooves for me.

[Van Huskey]

I use my SD208 as a backup for my Dado King and it does a solid job for the price. If I was replacing it with a similarly priced set based on Scott S.'s recommendation I would save a little and get the above mentioned Delta. In the end most of the ~100 sets from the big names are solid. Dewalt also rebadges the delta set but is sells for a little more.

+1 on the Delta from Cripe. I needed a new set a week or so ago. I decided on the Delta and couldn't be happier. I chose it over the Frued because of the 4 tooth chippers and nice storage case. Dead flat bottoms and tiny bat ears plus several shims in the set. Best money I've spent in a while.

[Brody Goodwine]

I have the oshlun and strongly back it as a solid set

Both are good value sets, but my money would go to the Delta/DeWalt 7670 set from Cripe....$74 plus s/h. Very good performance that gives a taste of the premium sets, great carrying case, and very nice shim stock.
