Customers are satisfied with the adjustability of the saw blade. They mention that the spacers are very thin and allow for micro-adjustment of the final cut width. They also appreciate the fine adjustment with the dial, which is much easier to adjust than their old stack with shims. The range of adjustments using the dial is infinite and easy to use, making fine tuning the blades to a specific width a breeze. Customers are also able to cut perfect fit dadoes for the cabinet carcass and shelves.
"...But I have used them at a workshop. The ability to adjust them without taking the whole stack out is what clinched it for me." Read more
"This is a great dado set and very easy to adjust on the fly...." Read more
"This is the best dado set I've used and the micro adjustment is way better than any kind of shimming between blades for precise work...." Read more
"...I do have one criticism. The spacers are very thin and allow for micro-adjustment of the final cut width...." Read more

"...out of nice thick, flat stock, with large carbide teeth and a nice clean black finish...." Read more
"Very sharp blades gave a nice clean cut even at 3/4 and 1” deep" Read more
"I used ona 14" RAS, I love it. Beautiful dado at 3/4" deep and wide. No worries about *climbing" due to negative hook angles and blade design...." Read more
"...The box itself is nice and the foam padding I'm sure will hold up fine as long as I'm careful with the blades when taking them out and putting them..." Read more
Customers are mixed about the ease of use of the saw blade. Some mention it's super-easy to use, simple, and time saving. They also say the instructions are easy to follow. However, others say the directions are horrible, it'll take a while to learn, and it'd be a pain to arrange the blades so that the teeth of one blade don't interfere.
"...Dead accurate when you use their easy to follow chart, and you can just turn the outside blade a click or two in either direction to make the dado..." Read more
"...required to loosen / secure the screws. The included instructions are obviously antiquated and not to be used. I called the 800 # before..." Read more

"...A small learning curve on adjustment but great results." Read more
"...This, and all the Wixey digital readouts. So helpful and time saving. And again, dead accurate" Read more
"...Unfortunately the storage case is garbage. They put the thinnest cheapest plastic they could find in the case to help protect the $200+ blade set...." Read more
"...Practical Feedback:This system works nice. Pretty quiet for a dado and very clean, flat cuts...." Read more
Customers are mixed about the durability of the saw blade. Some mention that it has minimal tear-out and no shredding, while others say that it was shredded from the blades and had damage to every blade.
"...to keep these blades secure doesn't do its job, you end up with damaged carbides that need repair...." Read more
"...Perfect flat bottom cut. No shredding, even on cross grain plywood...." Read more
"...First one shipped had damage to every blade. When they shipped the replacement all the shippers did was put the case for the blades in a bigger box...." Read more
"...The quality of cut is excellent--flat bottoms, smooth cutting, and minimal tear-out...." Read more
Customers are dissatisfied with the fit of the dado set. They mention that it didn't fit their saw due to the short arbor and the built in arbor. The extension wrench doesn't work with their saw's arbor nut, and the center home on the dads is too big. Some say that the product can only fit half the stack on standard arbor of common table saws.
"...Also, the wrench they include is not only not the right size it is too deep to use on the arbor nuts...." Read more
"...The set includes a wrench and I have no idea why - it doesn't fit my Craftsmen arbor nut, and from what I see in other reviews, it doesn't fit ANY..." Read more
"...the full width dado on the Sawstop only to find that the arbor isn't quite long enough to support it safely, but that's ok too because I will never..." Read more
"...in the Freud dial a width dado set information about not fitting saws with shorter arbors...." Read more

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The blade was shipped inside a box nearly large enough for a dish washer, but the extra space was not taken advantage of and no extra bubble wrap or other cushioning was provided so I guessed it must have been the only size or closest box available to whomever packaged it.
There was no damage to the blades so I proceeded to orient the blades for left tilt.
Disregard any criticism over difficulty in changing from right to left tilt.
This is as simple as removing / replacing three screws from each outside blade, just use a quality Phillips head driver and use moderate down pressure while applying the minimal torque required to loosen / secure the screws.
The included instructions are obviously antiquated and not to be used.
I called the 800 # before changing the tilt orientation to be certain of the process.
I asked why the instructions havnt been updated and was told the unit is produced in Italy and Freud's requests to have those instructions changed have continually fallen on deaf ears.
The current model has been updated and the orientation change process has been simplified a bit since those instructions were valid.
The 5 chipper blades are not stamped or otherwise identified in their sizes.
I purchased a silver indelible marker that shows up well on the black blades and used a digital caliper to record the size on each blade to make set up easier
This blade is not entirely universal for all table / cabinet saws, so verify your arbor dimensions before making the investment.
I own a Unisaw and this blade set is evidently designed around it because the arbor will accept the full set and the included wrench works on the arbor nut.
I absolutely hate dealing with dado shims and the time wasted in sizing & swapping them but this adjustable set is a game changer and I feel blessed knowing that my days of using dado shims are behind me.
In fact, knowing what I know now, should I need to ever shop for another or an additional cabinet saw, I will make certain that selection will accommodate this dial-a-width blade set and would cull any saw that will not.
The set includes a wrench and I have no idea why - it doesn't fit my Craftsmen arbor nut, and from what I see in other reviews, it doesn't fit ANY arbor nut. It looks like it's about the right size, but the sides of the wrench are not perfectly straight so doesn't fit. I just used my original wrench, but it's disappointing to see such a costly kit that is otherwise amazing coupled with a useless chunk of metal.
My Craftsman arbor nut measure 29/32".
Update -- Another note. The instructions to change the orientation are useless. They say to remove the two silver screws, but there are none. There are THREE BLACK screws. I looked on YouTube and found very clear instructions. Again, for a tool this expensive, I hope for better.
Update 2 -- I removed a star because customer service is non-existent. The setup instructions that came with my dado set did not match what I had in the box. I wrote to them about this and they never responded.

Read the instructions... it helps 😁 but very intuitive to use and within 10mins I had the result I was looking for. (See picture) It adjusts and hold that adjustment well. Very fast and highly accurate. This is my 3rd dado stack and I will never go back to anything else.
