    HF Dado Blades

    I bought a set of HF Dado blades (40745-4VGA). The figure show it is rated for 7000 RPM, but the description says 4500 RPM. I thought it is a typo on the website. But when it arrived, it is rated for only 4500RPM. You know, BT3100 rotate at 4800RPM, so I am stucked here. The blades looks OK. Anybody out there ever tried this set before? Is it safe to use it on BTs? I just don't want to pay shipping to send it back. I guess I may have to put it on craigslist.

    There's also some problems associated with it being 8"
    as well as the speed problems.
    All discussed in the BT3 FAQ under dado blades.
    All in all I think the best dado for the BT3 is the Freud SD206 but it costs like $60-75 depending on what sale you catch.

    If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.
