Dado Replacement Parts & Shim Sets
Use Dado Sets components only with the dado set for which they are designed. Never use chippers without both
outside blades. SS100 will work with any stacked dado set on table saws or radial arm saws with a 5/8" arbor. SS200
will work with any stacked dado on table saws or radial arm saws with a 1" arbor.
Freud dado sets are built to last through many years of sharpening and use. However, accidents like dropping a chipper
do happen and Freud offers a full range of replacement parts. All outside blades and chippers are made to the same
exacting standards of quality as the original set. For wider cuts Freud’s Precision Shim Set and additional chippers are
available.
