Purchased the Freud 8" dado and it worked as well as this one, however even though my Bosch 4100 table saw is adequate for that size,  after a couple of cuts I traded it in, came to Amazon and am pleased with this 6" preferring it much better. I simply did not like the sound my motor made pushing the heavier 8" body and noticed it even more after using this 6". I am enamored with my Bosch and plan to have it around a good long time, so why strain it. I am a hobbyist in the garage and see that this product does all I need to have done. It is a far cry from my Craftsman spin dado. Clean cuts, square corners, the whole enchilada. Though the documentation is sparse and even in error for some of the settings (IMO) working it with practice cuts pays off well.
