The Freud Difference
Freud manufactures some of the most innovative, technologically advanced saw blades in the world. To ensure that the highest quality products meet the toughest design standards, Freud owns and operates six manufacturing facilities in Western Europe. Freud is one of the few manufacturers of woodworking tools in the world that produces its own MicroGrain carbide with titanium, called TiCo -- a combination of titanium and cobalt. Freud develops different types of carbide for each application to maximize the cutting life and performance of the tool; and Freud also operates one of the most modern product development research centers in Europe. By overseeing the entire manufacturing process from start to finish, Freud guarantees some of the highest quality, most advanced products in the industry.


About Freud's Dado Sets
Whether you’re a skilled professional or a weekend hobbyist, Freud has a dado for you. The SD608, Freud’s Dial-A-Width Dado, has a patented dial system for easy and precise adjustments while offering extremely accurate cuts. The SD300 Series adds a level of safety not found in other manufacturers’ dadoes, while the SD200 Series provides the quality of cuts you expect from Freud, at an attractive price.


About this Joint Cutter Set
Freud has developed a method of creating perfectly square, flat-bottom box joints on a table saw without using a dado set or saw blade. This patent-pending innovation is easy to use: simply install the two 8-inch diameter, 5/8-inch arbor blades on a table saw with the blades back-to-back for 1/4-inch box joints, or face-to-face for 3/8-inch box joints. Combine this with Freud's Tico Hi-Density Carbide and Silver I.C.E. Coating, and you can make perfectly square and precise box joints quickly and cleanly the very first time. This set includes instructions for making box joints and building a box joint jig.

Key Tech Specs:

  • Creates 1/4-inch or 3/8-inch box joints
  • Silver I.C.E. coated blades
  • 5/8-inch arbors

    Applications
    Use these blades on all table saws for cutting grooves to create box joints in hardwoods and softwoods.

    Warranty
    This set is covered by Freud's limited lifetime warranty.

Diameter Teeth Arbor Hook Angle Kerf Grind Plate
8" 20 5/8" 20° - - -

Freud's industrial saw blades are carefully crafted using the best materials, the most innovative designs, and the industry's most sophisticated manufacturing processes. Every blade is specifically designed for superior performance and maximum life. Select the best blade for your application from a wide variety of designs and sizes, all featuring Freud's unique coatings and TiCo Hi-Density Carbide.

TiCo Hi-Density carbide is a specially formulated, highly compact Titanium Cobalt Carbide engineered and manufactured by Freud to maximize performance on all Freud cutting tools. Designed in Freud research and development laboratories, Freud's TiCo Hi-Density carbide is scientifically developed using Titanium Carbide, Cobalt and Tungsten (as well as proprietary elements), to produce a supreme product. Carbide size is extremely important when it comes to sharpness as well as the rate at which an edge wears. The larger the carbide grain, the faster an edge will wear. While standard carbides measure as large as 5 microns, and an advanced micrograin carbide can measure 1 micron, Freud's TiCo Hi-Density Carbide is miniscule in comparison at .8 microns, with a laminate blend as small as .4 microns.

    5 Stars
    Great set!
    I used these to cut 3/8” rabbets along both edges of some longer boards for floating shelves I’m building. The blades gave a nice clean cut and were easily able to handle the rip, which I was initially worried about since they are designed for shorter cuts. This didn’t bog down my compact portable saw at all as long as I fed nice and slow with good dust collection. By the way I have the DeWalt jobsite saw (DWE7485) and the blades fit just fine on my arbor and even fit with the provided throat plate! Highly recommend these blades!
