CMT 230.324.08 Precision 8″ Locked Dado Pro Set (24-Tooth)
Elevate your woodworking to industrial standards with the CMT 230.324.08 Precision Locked Dado Pro Set. Engineered for the professional cabinetmaker and the serious enthusiast, this 8-inch set is the pinnacle of precision, safety, and finish quality. Unlike standard dado stacks, the Locked Dado Pro features a patented interlocking design that ensures your chippers and outer blades remain perfectly aligned and securely “locked” together, eliminating the risk of blade shift during heavy cuts.
Unmatched Surface Finish
With a high 24-tooth count on the outer blades, this set is specifically designed for high-precision applications where tear-out is not an option. Whether you are working with delicate veneers, melamine, or cross-cutting dense hardwoods, the negative -12° hook angle provides a controlled, smooth feed rate that results in mirror-finish, flat-bottomed grooves every time.
The Safety Gold Standard
As the first dado set to be uniquely compliant with UNI EN847 safety standards, the 230.324.08 offers peace of mind alongside performance. The interlocking spacers prevent the carbide teeth of the chippers from ever making contact with each other, protecting your investment and ensuring the longevity of the tool. This stability makes it an ideal choice for high-end table saws and specialized machinery.
Key Technical Specifications & Features:
-
Precision Width Adjustments: Set your width from 1/4″ to 13/16″ using the included precision-ground chippers and magnetic shim kit for micro-adjustments.
-
Anti-Kickback Design: Optimized body geometry reduces the risk of kickback, providing a safer working environment without sacrificing cutting speed.
-
Chrome Carbide Teeth: High-density Sironium Chrome Carbide tips stay sharper significantly longer than standard carbide, even when machining abrasive composites.
-
Orange Shield Coating: CMT’s signature non-stick coating prevents pitch and gum buildup, reduces heat, and protects the blades from corrosion.
Applications:
Perfect for cutting high-precision grooves, rabbets, tenons, and tongue-and-groove joints. It is the ideal solution for high-end cabinetry, furniture making, and any project requiring a “no-sand” finish directly off the saw.
