Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

i absolutely hate dealing with dado shims and the time wasted in sizing & swapping them but this adjustable set is a game changer. A full-kerf blade is only nominally 1/8 inch, but in reality the kerf can be somewhat wider or less wide. The dial f... Read More

Insanely sharp and terrifying to use the first couple times. While it does cost a bit, i firmly believe in you get what you pay for.

Cons

case is flimsy and cracks easily. Metal shims are corroded. I know how to use dado blades, so this negative review is not the result of not knowing what i'm doing.

This rating is for mail order version of this product. After talking with freud, the only solution is to return the dado set for a refund.

Delivery is very shorteverything on the saw dado blade is perfectbut inside the packaging is too weak

Its true the packaging is lacking i was aware of this fact from previous reviews and inspected the blades for damage immediatel... Read More

For a established company like frued to charge you this much for this set and then ship these blades in the crappiest packaging... Read More

Competitiveness

I love this dado set and use it with my sawstop table saw

Aside from the horrible packaging which others have repeatedly brought up i expected a 5star worthy cut for the premium price
