- Good Dado - but Does Not Fit Jet XactaSaw Deluxe!
- Great dado set - very high quality, flat-bottom dados. It does not fit the Jet Xacta Saw Deluxe tablesaw, however. While the tablesaw's dust shroud does have a semi-circular cutout, it is not big enough to accommodate the dado set's dial. If possible, you should check for fit on any saw with such a shroud before buying.

- Infinitely adjustable, yet easy to use.
- I've used this extensively on my Grizzly 1023 table saw with great results. I would highly recommend this blade set to anyone. My advice on using it:
* when you unbox the blades, measure the chipper thicknesses and label them "A", "B", "C", etc., according to the manual. There one that's thinner than the others, and it is required for certain thickness combinations; identifying it by sight is almost impossible. I wrote on them in silver Sharpie and it solved that problem.
* mark the "zero" on the thickness adjusting dial. Turn it until the back of the dial is perfectly flush with the back of the blade and write a "0" above that tick mark (again, silver Sharpie works great). That way, when the manual says "a 1/2 inch dado is these three blades plus four clicks" you'll know that you're really at four and not, say, three or five. - 2008-07-21, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- great dado set for cabinetry work
- This my third Freud blade and I agree with all the reviews about how clean and smooth the cuts are. The quality of this blade is excellent! The case is plastic and uses dimpled plastic to separate the outer blades and chippers so there are no damage to the carbide tips.
Once you use the right combination of chippers per the chart, it cleanly and easily cuts through oak to particle board. No chipping or tear out.
The only improvement to this dado blade would be to stamp the chipper with its thickness. Otherwise it is a very good purchase. - 2008-06-12, 1 of 1 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Splinters, I'm not happy.
- I am using this dado set to build cabinets that are made of quarter sawn red oak. The blade works fine if you cut with the grain but is nearly useless for cutting tenons. Even when using a backer board the wood splinters at the ends. Also, the bottom of the cut is uneven. If you want quality results, look elsewhere.

- Good Dado Set
- Bought and used on my Ryobi 10" table saw. It makes nice cuts through oak. I would buy this set again. If you buy a cheaper set, make sure they are rated for the RPM of your saw. This set is rated for a Max 11,000 RPM.
