This might actually be a good find for BT. It is a 6" dado. Reviews at amazon are not that good but all the negative side will most likely not apply for our crowd. They all complain about tight tolerance for arbor mounting. I cannot see that being a big deal.

Will this work on BT3100? Thanks

Makita dado set

I got the Makita set a few minutes ago and the final cost was:

Shipping & Handling: $9.99
Super Saver Discount: -$9.99
Promotion Applied: -$3.41
Total Before Tax: $30.65
Estimated Tax: $0.00

Not sure what the $3.41 was for, but I'll take it. :-)

The Makita set seems not carbide tipped from the picture, while the delta set is. IMHO, I would think the delta set might be a better deal. Just my 2 cents.

I also noticed this. "Maximum safe rpm: 4800"
Isn't the BT3K 5000?

This review gave me pause:

This Dado set by Delta produces rough cuts and edges with significant bat wings (.005"-.010" deep). ... The set is only suitable for general carpentry.

Can't find any other reviews online (than 2 at Amazon). Has anyone tried this set?

The description on the makita says it is "For U-shaped cuts". Doesn't sound too good to me

everyone always seems to be trying to find alternatives (sometimes costing more!) to the freud SD206 but there never seem to be good ones.
The Freud costs about $75 and sometimes less on sale but its a great dado and is a good buy for the money - cuts clean square bottom grooves and the chippers all add up like they're supposed to. You can buy cheaper but watch out for problems (insufficient speed-RPM rating, not flat bottom, chippers don't stack up correctly dimension-wise, cut's rough, other problems, etc.)
