What model Freud Dado set is this???

[p8ntblr]

Anyone know? What's a good used price for it?

[LCHIEN]

SD308.

I have one and paid, I think, $120 about 6-7 years ago from Amazon.
Quick check of internet pricing shows about $130-150 new, now.

oh, yes, quite good.
Should have chosen a 6" for use with my BT3000, but makes great cuts when installed to the fit limit.

Since you have a non-BT3 Delta, if I recall correctly, an 8" should be fine for you.

Morning P8ntblr...

Loring gave you a good tip with the recommendation of a Freud 6" instead of an 8" with a BT3. I have the Freud Super 6" and it cuts very clean, even though I cut most dadoes with a router. As most stacked dadoes, it will leave a very slight ridge on the bottom trough that can be cleaned easily if ya want perfection. I just make one pass with a Veritas medium shoulder plane (which is just slightly a few .000 under 3/4") and it is perfect so to speak.

But... since the addition of the Uni-saw and that BT3 sitting in the back shop as you noticed when you came by to pick up the Delta planer, the Super 6 got installed on it so I don't have the PITA of the set-up. And it's not that difficult to set-up, but it saves time I could spend elsewhere.

Whatever you get... may I suggest that once you find the combo for 3/4", either tape them together to put back in the case or at least tab the blades used in the 3/4" set-up with a piece of masking tape or spot them with a colored magic marker to avoid seeking the solution with each use.

Now... if ya happen to know one of those GA. TECH grad-u-ates, they could probaby think up something even more technilogical.

And BTW.. if ya don't plan to do a lot of dadoes but have a project that requires them... drop by the shop one Fri. or Sat. and I will let you take my set home to cut them and determine if ya wanna buy your own set before actually dropping money on a counter.

I think you got me confused with someone else Sarge. Unless I have a Delta planer somehwere I don't know about.

I appreciate the offer but the drive from Los Angeles might be a little far


BTW, the guy wants $40 for the SD308. Wacha think?

[Tom Slick]

I would jump all over it for $40

Just tuning up for the "down-hill ride on the back-side of 60". As long as the "lovely lady" doesn't discover the mistake as she is probably near the point of having me "committed" anyway, expect more in the future!

The defense rests... for the moment anyway.... ha.. ha... ha..ha..ha...

P8, $40 would be good deal. Even if it was dull, you've got 24 + 24 + 5 x 2 teeth or about 58 I count.
You can probably get the whole thing sharpened like new for another $20 or so, (figuring $0.33 per tooth like the local sharp service).
