Locked Dado Pro Blade Set 8’’ x 12t - CMT
The CMT 230.312.08 Locked Dado Pro Set is an 8-inch industrial-grade dado blade stack manufactured by CMT Orange Tools. Notably recognized as the first stacked dado system deemed UNI EN847 compliant, it utilizes proprietary "lock spacers" and a specialized body design to ensure that the individual blades and chippers never physically contact each other during rotation, making it one of the safest options on the market.
Key Technical Specifications:
- Diameter: 8 inches (203 mm)
- Bore / Arbor Size: 5/8 inch
- Cutting Width Range: 15/64" to 13/16" (adjustable in 1/32" increments using included shims)
- Tooth Count & Geometry: 12 Teeth per main blade; Flat-Top Grind (FTG) + Alternate Top Bevel (ATB) geometry
- Hook Angle: -12° negative angle (reduces tear-out and climbing)
- Maximum Speed: 6,000 RPM
Coating: Orange Shield non-stick PTFE coating protects against heat buildup, gumming, and corrosion
Applications & Material Compatibility:
This dado stack is explicitly engineered to produce flat-bottomed grooves, rabbets, and dado joints with virtually splinter-free edges. It is optimized for:
- Solid hardwoods and softwoods
- Veneer plywood
- Melamine and plastic laminates
- Tool Compatibility
The set is compatible with most standard 10-inch table saws and radial arm saws that are approved by their manufacturers for dado stack usage.
SawStop Stationary Saws: Fully compatible (requires a dedicated SawStop dado brake cartridge).
SawStop Compact Table Saw (CTS): Not compatible due to physical limitations and power requirements
