I came home with the CMT Dado set for $39.00 and the 10"/80 Tooth for $32.00. I'm going to test cut comparison them with my Freud Blades.

Dang you guys! I quit visiting here about 4 or 5 months ago mainly because I just haven't had the time to actually DO any woodworking so I started to find reading about it discouraging. But also to a lesser degree because it always seems to cost me money and dangit I'm back for 5 minutes and already have the credit card out!!

I did in store pickup at my local store for $32.39 and I guess I'll see if there are any other goodies there in the morning when I go pick it up.

In all seriousness I hope this is a decent set as my freud is in dire need of sharpening.

Is the online price accurate or should I walk in and have them scan one?
They're listed as $54 online for my store.
I'll grab one at the lower $30's but not at $54.

The scan is free....no harm trying.

So far I've found the online price to be more accurate than what's in the store. When my local store had them for $36 on,line, the tag still said $54. They scanned at $36.

About a week after this thread began, I went ot the local Lowes and found six of them in stock, three orange and three grey. Bought the orange one and it sat on the shelf until this past week when I tried it out and am very pleased. I have been using a Freud 208, which I was very happy with, but in my opinion, this one is better. For the price, it is a steal.

You paid too much :-)

I paid $8 something for the first one and $13 something for the second. My "local"store still has them - at $53.98 - and won't price match the other Lowes 2 miles away. I suppose I really don't need more than two anyway.

The SD208 and the CMT set are extremely similar....any chance the CMT's advantage was due to being sharper?
