8 in. x 24-Teeth Stacked Dado Saw Blade Set

I sent this to Avanti customer service: “I bought the Avanti Pro 8” Stacked Dado yesterday and set it up for the first time today. To make a 3/8” cut, I used an outside blade (with the bevel points on the top of the teeth to the outside of the cut), a 0.60 mm shim, a 1/8” chipper (with the teeth in the gullet of the outside blade, another 0.60 mm shim, and finally the second outside blade (making sure the teeth of the chipper fell within the outside blade’s gullet). “After making my first pass, I found a noticeable line down the middle of the dado that created a significant crown in the middle. I thought I might have made the cut too quickly, so I passed it through again but slower. Nothing changed. “The middle of the dado is supposed to be flat. Will you please look at the pictures I attached and let me know what I am doing wrong?” That was on a Friday evening, so I didn’t expect them to reply until Monday. No reply Monday. No reply Tuesday. Tuesday night I sent them another email reiterating my need for assistance and letting them know that I needed an answer by the end of the following day or I had to find another solution for my job. It’s now two days later, but no response. See the pictures I attached. Maybe I did something wrong in the setup, but I followed the directions exactly. Terrible product. Terrible customer service. Isn’t the logical conclusion that this is a terrible company?

Great value! This set was the exact same price as at a discount tool retailer, but was a name brand and came with a storage case. I purchased this set to complete a goat fence railing project for my porch and it worked wonderfully with my job site table saw.

Trying to make a 1/4 cut and this is the result. Made attempts to adjust with no changes to the cut.

according to some reviews I read before stated the slots don't come out flush. So I took it to my own evaluation and tested the product out my self and it does seemed that it leaves an indentation in the center of the entire cuts no matter how many blades you put in to make what ever width you need. I tried adjusting the blades in what ever former you can including the use of the shims, but no solution. it seems like the chippers are not quite evenly formated with the two out side blades. if you look really closely there's an arch on each cut on material no matter how long or wide the cut is leaving a visible appearance when joining the boards together

I needed a new set of 8 inch Dado blades for my new table saw, I found these at Home Depot and the come in a very good wooden box for storage. Why that is important is that while I do use dado, rabbets and grooves a lot, My Dado blades spend a lot of time being stored. So good storage and inexpensive are a couple top issues for me. Next is a clean cut, This set does a clean cut, I am sure if you spend two or three times as much you may get a smother or flatter dado, but in most cases this set will do the job you need and if not a little sanding will make it perfect. I have not gone piece by piece to check the measurements, I most likely never will, I always check my cuts on scrap wood before I cut into my projects and soon I will have a chart of just what combos give me perfect cuts on my most used sizes. If you need perfect dados, may not be the set for you, as a hobbyist, I can tell you they work fine for over 90% of what I need and my router keeps care of the rest.

I would only buy this product for rough dados. Not for any fine cuts or on plywood. This is not a flat bottom dado. This set leaves a v groove dado. Wish home depot would discontinue this item. Bought used once and returned.

I needed a simple cut on a bunch of doors (to change an overlay kitchen cabinet door into a partial inset door). Router seemed to struggle, so decided to go with the Dado blade. I looked at the $100 and higher versions, but this $50 Avanti Pro set worked Perfectly! Love the wooden case too. I may never need a dado blade again, so the price/value goes to Avanti!

Great Dado set. I cruelly put the set to work cutting slots in wet pressure treated 2x4's fully expecting them to get lumber jammed in the middle gaps. They performed flawlessly mounted to a RIDGID table saw. The blades cut with ease and left a 3/8's slot with a almost square bottom, much better than I expected! There was a very slight ridge in the bottom but not a problem for the fence rails i was making. I did try them on a dry 2x4 and the ridge was minimal. The set comes in a nice wooden storage box as a bonus! I haven't used them for precision work or wide slots yet, but impressed so far...

The outside blades cut deeper than the dado blades. This leaves and uneven surface in the joint. Not acceptable for woodworking. I wasted $50 for a set that I can't use

Don't waist your time or money on this dado kit. Does not cut accurate or even precise cuts. left a concave or half moon cut on my dado joint. Though the outer blades did cut clean cuts the chipper blades are useless. I have a 6 inch set of Craftsman dado blades that are awesome. Will stick with them for now on.
