Perfect in every way.

Good to know.
The latest Woodsmith magazine just did an article on box joints and they also mentioned this blade.
Apparently it makes a nice squared off cut.
I might get one of these.
Thanks for your input.

I have the same set but paid $95 for mine! DAMN! But I do love them {much better than my previous dado set}.

Just don’t do what I did when you buy this set. First make sure your saw can handle an 8” inch dado set. My Craftsman saw was not up to it and I had to return the set to get a 6 inch dado set.

Thanks for the tip.

I have this set as well. I have found it to be very useful for dados as well as box joints. I would highly recommend it. I think I paid around $90 a few years ago, so the $65 is a real steal.

I’ve had my set for quite a while now, and have found it to be very reliable…$65 is a great price. I liked the quality so much that I took the plunge for Freud’s dial a width 8” dado set…pricey, but worth every penney!

i have this set too. I use it mostly for dados on my little benchtop table saw. very good quality cuts – those blades are sharp!

I have the Freud 8” dado set and I was curious what is the difference between this set and their standard dado set. The blades look the same. Did this some with special spacers for the box joint? Does it have less chippers and shimms than the dado set? Just wondering if you have one set do you in essence also have the other?

there are only 2 blades with this. the teeth are set just right so that when the blades are faced “in” the blade width combines to 1/4” and when they face “out” they combine to 3/8”. There are no chippers and shims – this is meant to simplify things and was so designed for box joints.

Cool, thanks.

I picked this up from Amazon for 65 as well. It makes super clean cuts – so nice not to have to chisel out the dados after cutting.
