collinb Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 Has anyone hands-on compared the Freud Dado (sd208) against the Super Dado (sd508)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mat60 Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 I have used the super dado 508 and like that the chippers have 4 teeth each instead of 2 on the 208 dado. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 If you have a small and under powered saw I would get the 208. If your saw is fine power wise I would get the 508. I am like mat60 I have and am very happy with the 508 because of the bigger chippers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gee-dub Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 I have both. I use the 208 for ply and MDF and the 508 for hardwoods. I do not use ply for visible parts so you should factor that in. If I used hardwood veneered ply the higher tooth count of the 508 would probably be desirable.

knotscott Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 The 508 is notably cleaner. If budget is steering you toward the 208, the DW/Delta 7670 is cleaner than the 208 for not much more money...kind of in between the 208 and 508....plus it has a great carrying case and better shims. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom King Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 Here's another vote for the Dewalt. It's the only tool I have, out of many thousands, that I use the case it came with. The chart in the case for dado width is dead on. Sometime later, get a set of magnetic shims. You don't need a large set of magnetic shims. One will hold another that's not magnetic that comes in the Dewalt kit. I marked with a Sharpie on the cutters which pieces to use with different thickness plywood, so there is no time wasted the next time I use that plywood. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seth Clayton Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 Got it. The ones I have had in Wisconsin were bland, maybe I bought the wrong kind... Definitely bought the wrong kind. If they don't "squeak" when you bite then, they're not fresh enough. They should be tangy when plain, and there are all sorts of flavored types.

Seth Clayton Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 They were squeaky, just bland. Not much cheese flavor. My taste in cheese runs more toward 5 year cheddars, blue, camambert or strong gruyere. Wisconsin curds are poplar by comparison. Definitely different ends of the cheese spectrum. Curds are the potato chip of cheeses. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llama Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 There are much better cheese curds out there than bland. Not going to get blue cheese curds... (I really want those now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live close enough to the Wisconsin border that the novelty has worn off. The seem flavorless and rubbery to me. That generally depends on the cheese factory one goes to. I like Arena the best.

collinb Posted February 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 Cheese lovers might consider brick. It's a Wisconsin-invented variation on limburger. Smells not as strong yet maintains that nutty taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because there is no cheddar made in Ohio. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freedhardwoods Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Getting back to dado blades, would there be an advantage or disadvantage to the sd510 over the sd508? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only if you need really deep dados(?). The cutter speed is higher due to the greater diameter and maybe someone can speak to this from a physics point of view. I use an 8" because the Greene and Greene stuff I make benefits from the "reach". If a 6" would do the job for me I would go with that. I don't use a lot of sheet goods so maybe one of our pros could speak to dado diameter pluses and minuses for shallow cuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bglenden Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 If anybody is looking to buy a dado stack, my 8" Dadonator set is still for sale. Check out marketplace. (Sorry for the advert). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not enough to justify the cost or the potential wear and tear on your saw. A 10" dado stock would be a lot of mass to spin if you don't have a monster saw. The upside is depth of cut, but that's not often an issue for a 6" stack, let alone an 8". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freedhardwoods Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Sounds like I should forget the sd510 for now. Thanks for the tips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
