Freud 8"/207mm Locked Dado Set - 30mm Bore - GL20701M

The Freud GL20701M 8" (207mm) Locked Dado Set is an industrial-quality stacked dado system designed for producing precise grooves, rebates, and flat-bottom dados in solid timber, plywood, MDF, laminates, and composite panels. Manufactured in Italy to Freud’s professional standards, this premium dado set delivers exceptional accuracy, clean finishes, and reliable performance for cabinetmaking, joinery, and furniture production.

A standout feature of the GL20701M is its innovative pin-locking system, which securely aligns all blades and chippers during operation. This system prevents component slippage, improves vibration control, and ensures consistent cutting accuracy throughout the cut. The result is cleaner, flatter-bottom grooves with reduced tear-out and improved finish quality.

The set uses Alternate Top Bevel (ATB) tooth geometry to minimise splintering and produce crisp, precise cuts across a wide range of timber and panel materials. Freud’s premium TiCo™ carbide teeth provide exceptional wear resistance and long cutting life, maintaining sharpness even under demanding workshop use.

Freud’s Silver I.C.E.™ coating helps reduce heat build-up and resin adhesion, improving cutting efficiency and extending blade life. The laser-cut steel plates feature anti-vibration slots for smoother, quieter cutting performance and improved stability during operation.

Designed for compatibility with 30mm arbor table saws commonly found on European and Australian woodworking machines, the GL20701M is ideal for shelving joints, housing joints, cabinetry construction, and precision joinery applications where flat-bottom grooves and consistent accuracy are essential.
