Popular Tools' 10-inch 40-tooth dado set with 1" bore โ the production standard for industrial cabinet saws and panel-processing operations. The larger diameter delivers deeper single-pass cuts than 8" sets, and the 1" bore matches the arbor on most industrial-grade table saws. 40-tooth outside blades with matched right/left-hand grinds for clean shoulders in plywood, MDF, and solid wood.
What's included
- 2 ร 10" outside blades โ 40 teeth each, matched right-hand and left-hand pair, 20ยฐ positive hook, 1" bore
- Multiple 8-tooth full-body chippers in 1/8" and 1/16" kerfs for a total stack width up to 13/16"
- Shim set
- Wooden storage case
Why Popular Tools chippers
Popular Tools chippers feature laser-cut bodies that remove nearly half the steel from the chipper plate. Reduced rotational mass means faster spin-up, less vibration on the arbor, easier startup, and quieter operation under load โ without compromising carbide tip strength or chipper structural integrity. It's a small detail you'll feel every time the saw comes up to speed.

Best for
Industrial cabinet saws, production shops, panel-processing operations, and any 10" table saw with a 1" arbor. The larger blade diameter gives you more cut depth than an 8" set โ useful for thick stock, double-stacked workpieces, and heavy joinery. Cabinet dadoes, drawer-slide channels, rabbets, large tenons, half-laps, and box joints.

- Never run chippers without both outside saws installed

- Make a test cut in scrap to verify width before cutting workpieces
- Follow OSHA guidelines, wear eye protection, keep hands clear of rotating tools
Frequently asked questions
Should I get the 10" or the 8" set?
10" gives you more cut depth and is the industrial standard. 8" requires less HP, fits more saws, and is the cabinet-shop standard. If your saw is rated for 10" dado capacity and has the horsepower, the 10" is the better long-term tool.
What if my arbor is 5/8" instead of 1"?
Order the DA104058 โ same set, 5/8" bore.
Will this work with my SawStop?
No. This dado set is not compatible with SawStop table saws.
What's the widest cut?
13/16" with the full chipper stack.
Can the blades be re-sharpened?
Yes. Standard carbide-tip sharpening.
