The 5/8 in. bore version of the 12 in. dado set, for saws on a 5/8 in. arbor. Mechanically identical to the 1 in. bore set (SBDS913); only the bore differs. Check that your saw’s arbor is long enough to carry a full 13/16 in. stack at this diameter before ordering.
It cuts groove widths from 1/4 in. to 13/16 in. by stacking two 1/8 in. 24-tooth outer blades with four chippers — two at 1/8 in., one at 1/4 in. and one at 1/16 in. — which combine to the 13/16 in. maximum. The outer blades score clean shoulder lines at the edges of the cut while the chippers clear the waste between them, leaving a flat bottom ready for a fitted joint. Ground at a 15° hook. The 12 in. diameter gives the greatest cutting depth in the range, for deep shelf housings, cross-lap joints and wide grooves in heavy panel.
For a 1 in. arbor, order SBDS913. For the same set in 8 in. and 10 in., see SBDS914 and SBDS912.
