Dado blades available

[FogggyTown]

For all those who have been looking for stacked dado heads - here's one reputable UK source. The price is ridiculous, but they are obtainable.

I have one of these lurking in the workshop that I`m looking to get rid of.
old, dusty and maybe a tiny bit of surface rust, hardy ever used (I think twice) as it scared the c**p out of me.

heavy so postage may be an issue.

if anyone wants it give me a PM

Wowsers! Quite a price on the Rutlands one, although Forrest are supposed to be king.
I have the Frued set - works great and a good price.

I thought that they are "Illegal" on "Legal" saw bench...

Anyway, my arbor is short (Electra Beckum PK 255) and will not accommodate a dado set.

Garniga make the best dado blades, 2 peice with disposable cutting tips, you can shim inside to get the thickness you want.

Why are wobble blades not more widly available? Surely as far as a brake goes they don't constitute any more inertia than a normal blade therefore should come to rest (spin down) in the same time?

Don't worry Niki, it is not the length of your arbour that matters it is what you do with it! - and, of course, the number of jigs you have to assist the process.

Wobble blades don't produce flat bottomed dados so not suitable for many jobs

really? even if you push the work piece through REALLY slow?

Yes really. Fast or slow doesn't change the fact the the blades height is changing slightly as it wobbles.
