Forrest DK06244 Dado King 6-Inch 29/32-Inch Width 5/8-Inch Bore Dado Blade Set

by Forrest

Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Forrest's blades offer a superior cut that leaves a rip-cut saw edge that is as smooth as if it had been sanded, and a cross-cut edge that is almost mark-free. The blades run very quietly, and backside tearout in plywood is negligible. Each blade is virtually hand-made. The plate is hand-tensioned (up to 15 minutes per blade), superior C-4 carbide teeth are hand-brazed to the plate, and the blade is straightened and restraightened multiple times throughout the process. Think of a Forrest blade as a tool in your shop, not an accessory. Forrest stands behind it's blades by offering a sharpening service that bring blades back to the exact tolerances offered in a new blade. And this same exacting service is available for other manufacturer's blades as well, so they should come back better than new. Forrest Woodworker 1 Saw Blade For Radial and Table Saws. These trim and cross-cut ALL PURPOSE blades give scratch-free POLISHED cuts on wood, RIP or CROSSCUT, up to 2" thick. They have a 30° Alternate Top Bevel with a 5° Face Hook on 10" diameters and smaller.

5.0 out of 5 stars The last Dado you will need., December 18, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Forrest DK06244 Dado King 6-Inch 29/32-Inch Width 5/8-Inch Bore Dado Blade Set (Tools & Home Improvement)

My philosiphy is to buy the best and only cry once (and I cried like a baby when I bought this). But now that it's paid for, I don't worry about my dado performance. It has cut sharp, splinter free dados in everything I have tried. Features 4 bladed chippers including a 3/32" chipper, and a shim set for fine adjustments. An excellent complement for a Woodworker II combo blade. A six inch set is recommended for most contractor saws because of the rotating mass. Try that wobble type dado if you must, just bookmark this page for when you finally wise up.

After using the Forrest Dado King I will be updating all my saw blades to the Forrest brand. The Forrest Dado is easy to use and produces outstanding results. It is well worth the investment even for the novice woodworker like me.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent dado, not perfectly accurate, February 2, 2001

By 

James McKiel (Colorado) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Forrest DK06244 Dado King 6-Inch 29/32-Inch Width 5/8-Inch Bore Dado Blade Set (Tools & Home Improvement)

The Forrest 6" x 24-Tooth Dado Set cuts perfect dados without a doubt. The problem is, mine is not perfecty accurate. For 3/4" it calls for both outside blades and 4 - 1/4" chippers. When I put this configuration on, it is not 3/4". I have to use the plastic shims. For [the price], this is not acceptable in my book. I don't know if I just got a bad set or if this is the way they are made. Besides that, the cut is nothing less than perfect....
