Last night, I was walking through Sears and saw a Freud SD508 Super Dado complete set, never opened, with no price on it. I asked the cashier how much and when she said $43 (hopefully insert gloat here) I said I'll take it. I wasn't exactly sure of the normal price, but from what I've seen so far today on the web it is about $175-$199. Do any of you have this set? Is this still a good price or should I return it and wait for a better set? I have an old stacked set about 20 yrs old, still works ok.
Thanks for your help,
Dan

I have had that set for a few years and it works great. You found a deal at that price.

I have that dado set and use it all the time. It's great. You got quite a steal there.

Thanks! It always makes it better to hear someone else say they have it and like it. And the price was right.
Thanks Again,
Dan

Thief!

That's an incredible find and buy. It's not a little gloat...it's a BIG one! It's also an excellent dado set and only a few things that are considerably more expensive (at normal prices) "could" be better. Enjoy!

Yeah, what Jim said! Sheeesh Dan, how can you look at yourself in the mirror having taken poor, old Sears for a ride like that? (Don't know 'bout you, but I'd be looking at a smiling face!) :D Anyhow, I've had the 6" version of that set for a while now and it works great! Enjoy. :cool:

Dan, that is the set that I have been using for years and it has served me well each time it was mounted in the tablesaw! Great steal -er- purchase. Hope you can live with yourself. :p

Isn't it great to have a place to go where folks encourage you and congratulate you on your finds and your work. No wonder this forum grows by leaps and bounds.

Dan,

You gotta' be kidding about returning it and waiting for a better price (sometime around when h*ll freezes ...?). A great find. Though I don't have that particular set, I've never heard a bad word about it.
