    OK, is there any difference in these two dados, besides the width?

    Freud SD506 6-Inch Super Dado Set with Anti-Kickback Design http://www.amazon.com/Freud-SD506-6-...dado+blade+set

    Freud SD508 Super Dado 8-Inch Stack Dado http://www.amazon.com/Freud-SD508-Su...dado+blade+set

    And, assuming my machine can turn the 8", what would you recommend? Too many choices, not enough brain bites.

    Thanks.

    In that price range I'd go with neither....the Infinity Dadonator offers a great design with similar precision machining and more teeth on the chippers. It's a superb set. I'd go with the 8" if your saw will handle it, and the $20 doesn't pinch. Ya never know when the extra 2" will come in handy.
    Happiness is like wetting your pants...everyone can see it, but only you can feel the warmth....

    OK, last question. I have an older Craftsman 113 series saw. It has a 2 hp motor, I'm assuming it will handle an 8" dado. Thoughts? Thanks
