Ridge Carbide 8" Stack Dado
5/8” Arbor, 1/4” to 29/32" Width
Look at any dado set comparison test in the
past 30 years and the 2 brands at the top will be Ridge Carbide and Forrest. Never heard of Ridge Carbide? They’ve been working factory-direct with
commercial shops and hobbyists for standard & custom blades, custom cutters,
and sharpening since 1970.
Ridge Carbide’s tight tolerances and extreme sharpness
will provide tear-out-free, flat bottom grooves in solid lumber and plywood with
minimal “bat’s ears” in the corners.
The set adjusts from 1/4” to just over 7/8”, and the
included 3/32” chipper handles grooves for undersized plywood like 15/32"
& 23/32".
The included metal shim kit lets you tweak the stack
width by more than 1/16” in 0.005” increments to perfectly match your projects.
If you’re cutting box joints with the INCRA I-Box or
other step-type box joint jigs, the adjusting shims give you lots more
flexibility in matching the cut pattern to the board width.
The -5° hook angle produces excellent results in the
most fragile veneers and melamine. The
negative hook also allows using the dado set on both table saws and radial arm
saws.
Extra-thick C-4 carbide tips let you sharpen the set 20-25
times.
8-piece set is shipped in a cardboard storage case.
Quick Tip: Ridge Carbide’s sharpening service is the
best in the business…do yourself a favor and don’t send your blades anywhere
else for service.
