I second the ridge carbide set, very good quality cut with no tear out on cross-cuts in prefinished maple?

I have a ridge carbide dado set it can be stamped for a Felder unit. Very nice flat bottom.?
Bummer.? The dado has been sold.? Felder is claiming 6-8 weeks for delivery.? Any other sources other than Felder?

Hi Steve:
Theoretically there¡¯s no problem mounting the dado on your shaper spindle. There are no downsides in terms of safety or cutting quality. Just run the shaper on a lower speed. In practice, it will depend on the capacity of your particular shaper.
Does your shaper hood accept 228mm diameter cutter heads? And does your below table space allow a 228mm cutter head to lower ¡°enough¡±? It is not just the table opening diameter of your shaper, but also any other protrusions that might stop you lowering (or
tilting) such a big cutter. Hope this is helpful.?
Warm regards,

Not to hijack this thread, but I pose a question for the group:
I'm still familiarizing myself with shaper cutters and operation...Would this dado set be compatible with a 30mm spindle shaper for grooving? And if so are there any downsides to using such large diameter tooling, versus something more standard such as 160mm
diameter?
Thank you,
Steve
