Am I wrong? Dado blade

[MikeR]

Am I wrong or are the direction of rotation arrows backwards? Seems to me that the carbide tips should face in the infeed direction.

Cheers,

Looks to me like they stamped the wrong side of the blade ... so much for any QC by that manufacturer ..

It depends upon whether you are a wood-cutter, or a wood-burner!

(JSCOOK was right - poor QC. If they shipped a whole batch of them, I feel for those folks who don't know better and try to use the blades according to the blade's illustration).

I just emailed Mibro's customer service. Will advise their response.

Doesn;t the word "mibro" mean red faced vendor in some language?

It wouldn't be the first time someone did something stupid like that. If you use the "this side out" on my one cordless circ saw, the blade would be backwards too.

They may need to change the company name to "Mybad".

Excuse me but my Freud is labelled like that, too, and they are not wrong.
There's a left side blade and a right side blade, different!
The outside refers to the outside of the stack, not to the arbor location.
The one you illustrtaed is probably the right side blade,
goes on the inside of the arbor (on a BT or right tilt saw) but the outside right of the stack. The other blade will have the "outside" label on the other side and go on the left side outside of the stack and be on the outside of the arbor.

The blades are not the same (symmetrical) if you cut it in half the thin way. There's internal shelves meant to be flush against the chipper blades on the inside.

And the "out" side refers to the stack.
What is the inside or outside of the arbor depends on whether its a
right tilt or left tilt saw.

Loring, that may be but it still seems the 'direction of rotation' arrows are backwards?

Am I still missing something?

OK, I'll agree that the rotation direction arrows are wrong - I missed that.

I think the ENTIRE label is pirinted at once ... so it still is either on the Wrong side of the blade as the arrow would be printed with "This side out" at the same time as the arrow ... or they have the correct side, but wrong graphic printed on this blade, as in the label for a RHS blade is printed on an actual LHS or vise-versa ...

Either way I wouldn't use them and send them back ... too easy to be in a rush or have a brain fart and forget to correct it ...

Hi-

The direction of rotation was the point of my post. I know that the blades have an inside and outside and mount them accordingly.

When I hear from Mibro, I'll post their response.

Cheers,
