That's an excellent price for a good Dado set.

I have this set and paid around $60 bucks for it. Half the price is a steal.

It's a great set, and you can't beat the price. I paid full price for mine, and would do so again in a heartbeat.

I got this dado at 40$ during a Rockler sale, and I'm happy with it. Just prepare to spend some time with calipers to come up with the right combination of cutters and spacers for the width you need. The documentation is not so good.

I take it those that have responded to this thread prefer cutting their dado's with their table saw. Just out of curiosity, why? Why not a router and an edge guide. Isn't it easier (quicker) to chuck up a bit than taking off the throat plate, futzing with removing the blade, stacking the dado's just right only to have to reverse the procedure when done?

Oh, and thanks for the heads up on the sale.

Greg, it all depends upon the situation. I only recently purchased a dado, and I was cutting my dados with a router and an edge guide up until then. Basically, there are some advantages to either one. I tend to batch cut my work, I also tend to cut 1/4" dados into my stock. Now with the router I should do that in 2 passes, the dado can do it in 1 pass. The router doesn't have dust collection, my TS does. The edge guide requires careful squaring and claming, my rip fence or cross cut sled handles those easier.

What does the routed dado have to offer?? Well, it's useful for those 5'+ projects where I couldn't possibly wrestle it onto the TS.

Basically, I still do both, depends upon the project, but I'd rather use the TS for the above reasons. It doesn't take THAT long to change the blade, and it certainly takes more time to setup the router, get the edge guide aligned, and sand off my layout marks for the edge guide.
