Upcoming project will require some dados. Never done them before. What's a reasonably priced set?
Home Depot Lowes Rockler (new store just opened near me) Amazon has the same Freud set at the same price. |

I bought a nice vintage Dewalt RAS off of CL and a Lowes dado. I think I paid the same money for each. Worked great!

I have the HD diablo set. Used it pretty extensively on a job site table saw. I think the max stack height is limited to 1/2 or 5/8" due to arbor length (that's a saw limitation, not dado stack). No complaints with the blades.

Pick the one that makes the sizes of dados you will use. A .032 increment is nice to have.

Oshlun SDS-0842 8-Inch 42 Tooth Stack Dado Set with 5/8-Inch Arbor https://a.co/d/hNMxFPH
I’ve had one of these for several years. Love it. I’ve got another high dollar set that I don’t use often. This set is great. I like the higher tooth count on the chippers. No matter what set you get I high key suggest a magnetic shim set. I have two. Makes everything easier. Also. You haven’t stated what table saw you have. Make sure it can except a dado and what width. A lot of beginners with no site saws don’t realize their limitations. |

Get a little pack of spacers too, those will make up sizes not possible to replicate with just the blades. They overlap a little anyways. But Ive had my forrest set for a long time. It has a couple sizes of blades to build the stack. I would've thought they would all be that way |

I got a harbor freight 8" dado blade set about 15 years back.
Not the best set available, but set it up and it holds true, and does what I need it to do when I need to dado lumber, iirc paid 35 or 40 bucks for it |

I picked up an Oshlun 8"' set from my local wood working store. I think I paid around $90 and it does include shims.
Been using it on a Bosch job site saw up to 3/4" without any issues. The thing to also remember is you will need to get a new insert to accommodate the position and width of the stack. I was able to order a "kit" for the Bosch that also provided a replacement washer to accommodate wider dado setups. |

I have the Freud Home Depot set. Works fine and doesn't chip out plywood.
Your link to HD doesn't work but I think they only sell the one. I bought mine instore about 3 years ago. |

I have the Dewalt. I got it on a very good sale a few years ago. I have no complaints other than the shims spill out of the box if I open it the wrong way.
