8in. x 12-Teeth Carbide Stacked Dado Saw Blade Set

Really good dado stack for the money and leaves nearly no chip out on plywood as long as your saw can spin it fast enough(my pm66 is perfect but .y contractor saw is slow enough it leaves some small splinters)

I was looking for a new negative rake dado set for my radial arm saw for the excellent finish and for the extra safety (it's less likely to push the blade towards you). The description and image on the website isn't that accurate - the dado set I received includes two negative rack blades and three negative rack chippers (the description says two chippers). Of course it also includes some spacers and shims to let you get very precise grooves. And they are all marked Freud and Made in Italy!

Amazing set of economically priced dado blades and make ideal cuts. Came with various shims to accommodate imperial and metric measurements. Thanks Diablo!

Did a large project that required making tongue and groove parts. The blades are not all the same diameter so there were high and low spots on both the tongues and grooves. Had to use sandpaper and chisel to make the parts fit. The difference is not a lot, maybe a few thousands of an inch, but it was enough to prevent the parts from fitting properly. This made my large project even bigger. I would not recommend this if you need nice smooth dados.

Can't go wrong with the Diablo Stacked Dado set! This was my foray into the use of a stacked dado blade. I undertook the effort of building kitchen cabinets and I knew that to do them properly I needed the backboard to be dado'd into the side panels. My table saw is a Craftsman 113.298 and is at least 40 years old! It's also a 10" blade saw, so I was concerned about using an 8" blade. Several friends that have used stacked dado's said, "Don't go cheap! Expect to pay over $200..." All in all, I cut nearly 100 dado slots, mostly 1/2" and a handful of 3/4". The saw handled this set wonderfully! My cuts were only 3/8" deep, so the blade size different had zero impact. All of the cuts were very clean and my board fits very smoothly and the cabinets turned out amazing! Advise I'd give after you buy this is to make sure you keep consistent pressure on the board as it goes over the blade, not all boards are completely flat and I did encounter 1 cut that wasn't deep enough and it caused me to scratch my head for a long while trying to figure out what was wrong. Also, buy a new zero clearance insert for your saw at the time you get this set. If your saw is anything like mine, the blade insert is metal and the hole is not easily expandable. It's way smarter & better to have an insert sized for doing dado cuts. Don't be like me and make the cuts without an insert!

Awesome set of dado blades. Bought a less expensive pair earlier on and my dados and grooves would have course bottoms I would have to chisel or sand out. Enter Diablo Freud dado blades. These guys cut a very smooth channel with minimal sanding needed almost effortlessly. Love love love these and looking forward to using them in my shop.

This was my first ever dado set and it exceeded my expectations. I've had my eye on this for a while and am so glad I finally purchased. I am a hobby woodworker at best, but this dado set has opened up so many possibilities for me. Did a trial run with it and it went so smoothly that I jumped right into my first project with it.

It’s a good quality product. First time users, read carefully the installation procedure and table saw specs! Your table saw should be designed to work with dado sets and dado blades must have higher max RPM than your table saw RPM. Oh, dado set diameter should fit into the table saw.

Used to make 1/4" Dado slot cuts on the vertical dimension of 2x4's to accommodate galvanized mesh livestock panels for goat pens. Worked very well with a basic Ryobi table saw after changing blade spacers. There are some good YouTube videos showing best practices for mounting and using Dado blades which I highly recommend if you have never worked with these tools. My application only required one of the included chippers and no shims. Picking these components to make the proper width notch was pretty easy to determine via the included instructions. My only complaint was the instructions themselves. Not the content - which was good, just the fact that a ton of info was crammed onto a small, illustrated sheet that was part of the display packaging. Would have been nice to have more detail on a separate, more easy to read sheet.
