The Freud SD306 – 6" Safety Dado Sets are designed to deliver precision and efficiency when cutting slots, grooves, dadoes, and rabbets in both softwood and hardwood. This set includes 2 blades, 5 chippers, and a shim set, allowing you to adjust the dado width in 0.004" increments, making it highly versatile for various projects. Crafted with TiCo Hi-Density Carbide, the blades offer long-lasting sharpness and exceptional cutting performance, making them ideal for creating clean edges, square shoulders, and flat-bottom grooves. The Silver I.C.E. Coating helps prevent buildup on the blade surface, keeping it cooler and cleaner during use while improving the overall cutting efficiency. With 18 teeth and a 5/8" arbor, the dado set is compatible with table saws, portable table saws, and radial arm saws, offering precise and reliable results. The anti-kickback design ensures added safety, reducing the likelihood of kickback and providing peace of mind during operation.
Clean edges, square shoulders, and flat bottoms: the Freud SD306 Six-Inch Safety Dado Set cuts with ultimate precision, so you can achieve them all. Boasting razor-sharp outside blades, thick MicroGrain carbide tips, and an anti-kickback design, this is your go-to set for safely and efficiently creating dadoes and grooves spanning 1/4 to 13/16 inch. This versatile kit cuts a wide range of materials from hardwood to laminate.

Razor-Sharp Blades for Smooth, Splinter-Free Dadoes
The perfect dado set for the fine cabinetmaker or weekend woodworker, the Freud SD306 produces dadoes and grooves that meet with flush, even edges. So you can be assured of precise cuts every time, the set is equipped with precision-grade features, starting with two proprietary razor-sharp outside blades.These high-quality six-inch, 18-tooth blades with 5/8-inch arbors cut dadoes and grooves that are clean, flat, and virtually splinter free. Cuts made by these blades are accurate the first time, saving you from making repeated passes over the same workpiece.
Flexibility for Cutting Hardwoods, Laminates, and More
The Freud SD306 fits all table saws and radial-arm saws and accommodates a wide range of materials, so you can use it from project to project. Use it to create dadoes and grooves in hardwood, softwood, chip board, plywood, and laminate (not recommended for non-ferrous materials).
Two-Wing Chippers for Truly Flat-Bottom Grooves
The set's five included chippers (four 1/8-inch chippers and one 1/16-inch chipper) save you time and energy. With their two-wing design, they efficiently remove waste material and smooth the edges of your workpiece. Plus, they allow you to fine-tune your cuts from 1/4 to 13/16 inch in 1/16-inch increments, so you have accurate control over the desired width. (With the use of the included Shim Set, the kerf width can be adjusted by as little as .004 inch.)
Anti-Kickback Design for Safe Operation
The quality of this dado set is enhanced by its anti-kickback design, which gives you an added margin of safety while you work.
MicroGrain Carbide Tips for Long-Lasting Performance
So you can get maximum performance out of this set, the blade components are constructed with Freud's TiCo Hi-Density Carbide MicroGrain. This means the blades can withstand numerous sharpenings and still retain their precision. And a Tri-metal Brazing process gives the blades impact resistance, so they last for the long term without dulling (a condition that can cause torn wood and uneven cuts).
