THE DADO PRO, from CMT, is an alternative to buying an 8" dado head. The kit includes two rim blades, four 1/8" chippers and one 1/16" chipper, to cut a perfectly flat-bottomed dado, according to the manufacturer. The Dado Pro handles grooves, dados and rabbets from 1/4" to 13/16" wide. Each chipper is individually labeled with its dimension. A set of seven steel dado shims is included to hit those "in between" measurements and the size of each shim is clearly indicated. CMT says the anti-kickback design of the teeth limits the amount of stock removal without adversely affecting performance, making the Dado Pro a great choice for underpowered saws. The Dado Pro, sold with a carrying case, has a street price of $149. Contact: CMT USA Inc., 307-F Pomona Dr., Greensboro, NC 27407. Tel: 888-268-2487. www.cmtusa.com
