I'll second the forrest dado as a good option, though I only run it on the saw arbor, not the shaper. There is quite a long wait for forrest stuff right now - up to 2 - 3 months according to their web site and both the 6 and 8 inch dado stacks are sold out on the other web sites I've sourced from.

I bought a Forrest Dado King for my saw. It is a conventional dado stack, but drilled for the Felder. It seems there was some lead time involved, but I do not remember how long it took.
It seems to work. You will see the grooves the nickers leave.

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

In Canada, Ultimate Tools in BC and Atlas Tools & Machinery started selling Mafell tools in March, 2023.
It appears Mafell's pricing in Canada is cheaper than Timberwolf based on the exchange rate.
85 track saw is C$1731 = US$1281

Fortunately, Timberwolf Tools will import any Mafell tool into North America, so there's no NAINA syndrome like there is with Festool. Like you say though, not sure if we'll see a 120V version....?

You know the old saying about¡¡¡¡¡¡¡±if you have to ask¡±
Moreover , I think it pretty safe to say we¡¯ll never see it in the U.S. even if they do produce a 120v version. It just doesn¡¯t fit the U.S. distributor¡¯s core customer in my view.

Wow, this Mafell router packs so many nice features that Festool OF-1010 does not have.
If I did not have the OF-1010 and LR32 system, I would probably buy this Mafell router with LO-FA parallel fence and F80-LR rail.

Innovative.? Thanks for sharing.? I¡¯ll file it away in the back of mind in case I burn something out and need to shop routers again.
I¡¯ve become a Mafell fan and have several tools, a couple that replaced (and improved) existing (jigsaw and plunge saw) and a couple that were just net new functionality (portable bandsaw and a grooving saw).? I¡¯ve got my eye on their 85mm saw to replace my monster 16¡± beam saw (which is a frightening, unwieldy beast). ?

Hi Todd,?
Is this still available? I'm in Wisconsin. Also, have you sold your Mac clamps already? I figured you must have, the post was six months ago.
