Stacked Dato Blade recommendations?

[SunTzuMD]

Have a new JET 10" contractor table saw. I'm looking for a stacked dato blade to do some projects around the house. Starting out with some plywood cabinets to store / organize all my camping gear. Any recommendations? Trying to by reasonable quality for a reasonable price.

Freud 208 is a great set for weekend work. 508 if you're doing more full time but the price increases quite a bit. Some guys actually say the HF set gives decent results, but my 208 set has been great. Most of the work has been in cherry, both hardwood and plywood.

The Freud 508 is a great set which I have used a great deal in hardwoods and plywoods.

I also have an Amana 8" stack dado and an Amana 10" stacked dado. These are more expensive and I save them for use in melamine and laminate where any tearout/chipping is unacceptable.

Routing is also a great way to make dados/rabbets etc.

I have a Freud 206 set, I don't do enough woodworking to justify the $$$ kits. I've been happy with it, would buy again. I have a Ryobi BT3000 table saw, it doesn't handle an 8" kit well so I went with the 6" kit. The smaller diameter can cause tearout on some plywoods, but it's been fine so far.

I had a Craftsman "wobble" style when I had my radial arm saw, never again.

If you are getting tear out with with a regular blade or with a dado set (especially on cross-grain or melamine) a cabinet maker's trick is to lower the blade to 1/16" or so high and make a scoring cut. Then raise your blade to the correct height and make your final cut. I've even cut melamine using 24 tooth rip blades in this manner with clean results. Now I have a sliding panel saw with scoring blade so I don't have to do this much.

Any reviews on Oshlun blades? And the real difference between getting a 6" or 8" setup?

I use a 308 on my delta 10". For as little as I do I have had no issues with it. As stated if you score it you will be fine. Also get the correct insert or make your own.
