    Besides the Velcro being ornery, it looks like a great set at an affordable price. I’m sure you’ll get plenty of use out of it 👍

      How's she goin'? Well Jason, a dado is something that isn't used all that often. My old one was almost 50 years old!! But when you need one it's nice to have one that is sharp and has multiple width settings available. And this one was even a decent price!! LOL Take 'er easy!!

    That's a nice looking dado stack Mike. I also like when the tool comes in a decent box.
    Now that you have a new stack when you get your storage boxes done you can try sharpening the old dado stack. It's easier than you would think.

    • @GrampiesWorkshop
      @GrampiesWorkshop  2 місяці тому

      How's she goin'? Thanks Dave. Sharpening the old stack would be an interesting project for me. I had a buddy, Ron and he's dead now, God rest his soul, who was a ship's carpenter at the Pictou Shipyards in Pictou, NS. Ron was about 80 or so at the time. I had an old chisel that I spent quite a while sharpening myself and figured it was pretty sharp. So I asked Ron if he could sharpen it, expecting full well he would say "Mike this is as sharp as it can get". Ron took a look at it and said, "Well Mike, I think we can save this one." And he wasn't laughing either!! He had a set up just using a bench grinder with not even a buffing wheel on it and he sharpened, and I mean sharpened, that chisel in no time at all. What a skilled craftsman he was. Thanks for watching. Take 'er easy!!

    With the mail on strike Amazon is posting "Order it now and we'll tell you when it can ship." This has had the favorable effect of having me order NOTHIN'. That's good for my bank account but I do miss ordering stuff. The dado blade stack looks good and the boxes are top-notch, especially painted.

    A must tool to have and it expands the number of projects that you can take on. Looks like you found good value in the set you bought. I have used a $300 dollar set and it was a dream to use but if you don't use it all of the time, it is not worth it. You have heat in your shop, reorganized, new bench, and a new set of blades, no excuse for projects this winter. Thanks Mike. Stevo

And I hope you're right about lots of projects over the winter!! LOL Take care!!

    • @GrampiesWorkshop
      @GrampiesWorkshop  2 місяці тому

      How's she goin'? Thanks Lloyd! I have an adjustable one too but for wide dados, say like 3/4", it makes the bottom of the dado curved and so it doesn't glue up too good when the piece is put in the dado. But the adjustable ones are great! A lot easier to set up than this type. Thanks for tuning and take care!!

      How's she goin'? Ha Ha Ha! A dado set is a tool that is not used too often. I have an adjustable one too but it's a wobble type and when cutting a 3/4" dado for example the bottom of the dado is curved and the piece to go into it doesn't fit too good for glue ups. This set is pretty decent and for the money, and the amount I will use it after this 'box' project, I think it will be just what the doc ordered!! Thanks for the watch Steve! Take 'er easy!!

    Hi Mike. Ahh, New toys for the shop eh. I have always sharpened all my tools. You're really careful with all your tools but have you tried sharpening the Dato Stack ? Lee Valley has some great diamond faced carbide sharpening hand tools. They have a new one now that is about the size of a steel file that has caught my eye. It will be great for chippers to forsner bits. Just follow the existing profiles and tickedebo. On the Dato stack side saws I'm thinking they will have to go to a saw shop as the teeth on the side saws are just too fine for a good point and gullet job by hand. Great to see you this fine day old friend.

Now days it is cheaper to buy a new handsaw than to take one in and have it sharpened. Many of the nice old handsaws are now gone or forgoten about. Such a shame.

    I bought this same dado set back in June 2022 Mike, ( then it was $55.77 plus HST) it does cut the dados nicely in my projects, but I have to be fair, it is not as clean a cut as my old
    Craftsman set does. The Craftsman 6 inch dado blade is a 'wobble' type and is in perfect balance no matter the width I set it to.
    Still sharp after all these years, I guess I have been very careful of what I cut with it. They don't seem to offer this 'wobble balanced' set anymore,... pity.
    But this 8 inch Tooltech set does the job well, and I am glade I bought them.

    • @GrampiesWorkshop
      @GrampiesWorkshop  2 місяці тому +1

      How's she goin'? Thanks for commenting Reg as this is reassuring to me that this dado set might be worth it!! I know it wasn't the most expensive or the cheapest, but when I got it it sure looked like a decent set. I have a wobble blade dado too. I find with those types, although the balance wasn't an issue, the dados, especially say the 3/4" ones, had a curved bottom and that sometimes would cause issues when joining a piece to it. The glue up wouldn't be as strong. Thanks for this input Reg! I hope you have a great week. Take 'er easy!!

I looked and looked and finally found one that was a generic fit. It wasn't exactly what the humidifier needed, but I needed a filter so I bought it and it's working but not great. On Amazon you can get the exact one and it's often time for less money. You just have to wait to get it is all. Thanks for commenting. Take 'er easy!
