11 customers mention11 positive0 negative

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

Customers like the appearance of the saw blade. They mention that it looks great, has a practical design, and has s nice clean black finish. Some say that the interior is fashioned from flimsy plastic.

"...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

20 customers mention11 positive9 negative

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

"...The range of adjustments using the dial is infinite and easy to use.The tool itself is great...." Read more

"...It's a pain to arrange the blades so that the teeth of one blade don't interfere with others, but that's not unique to this dado set...." Read more

16 customers mention11 positive5 negative

Customers are mixed about the case. Some mention that it protects the blades very well, while others say that it's woefully inadequate and broken.

"...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

7 customers mention3 positive4 negative

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

15 customers mention0 positive15 negative

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

Great blade set, horrible storage case
4 Stars
Great blade set, horrible storage case
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. I use my dado almost daily so I bought a second one to alternate with while the other is in being sharpend. 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. I paid $280 for my original years ago and just got my backup for a better deal. However if the case thats supposed to keep these blades secure doesn't do its job, you end up with damaged carbides that need repair. I contacted freud about getting a replacement case. After no reply for weeks, I sent another email. I also returned my first set for an exchange to the Amazon seller and the second case showed up even worse. Looks like I'll be try to contact the company again. Pic 1 first set, pic 2 the replacement.

This dial a width dado set is fantastic. I build custom kitchens and woodworking and this is great. As mentioned the case is flimsy but arrived in good shape.
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.
