the dado set is easy to set up and produces a nice Ean cit.

Seems like a nice set comes in a wooden carrying case, works nice, so it's good!

They where easy to use and a good price

I’ve not used the. Product I purchased

Overall, since this set is about half-price of any others, it seems fair that the quality is about half as good as the others too. If you only plan to use this for one or two projects it isn't a bad investment, but if you intend to use it quite a bit over time, save your money and buy a better quality set. I've used them about twice a month since I bought them, mostly on pine, and I've lost three of the carbide teeth from some of the chippers. Also, as others have reported, the bottom of the dados are uneven as it seems each blade/chipper is very slightly different outside diameters (or there is too much slop on the mandril.) It isn't very significant (can be sanded away fairly quickly) but it shouldn't be there.

My first time using dado blades, cut 3/8 " x 1/2" deep grooves into pressure treated 2x4s and worked great

Staff need to understand more about items in their department

needs better instructions on how to. use and stack the blades

I can only get 5/8 wide on my saw but it works great and that was all I needed.

Price right happy with product

Great set of blades and a nice storage box.

I used it to make dadoes on my bee boxes. Worked great.

I bought this for my dad to help him in his quest to build shelves to help with organization in their small house. He is very pleased!

Worked great for me. Make sure that your saw arbor is long enough to take the set. I had to use my lathe to make an adapter for cutting a 3/4" slot.

I bought this dado set maybe five years ago at my local Home Depot. I've had need of a decent dado set over the years and this product gave the impression it might be a good value. It has never worked well. I got it out the other day and graciously gave it one more chance to cut some box joints. Since I recently bought myself a circular saw blade sharpener, I figured a little touch up might make the difference–but it didn't. Setting the blades up with my box joint jig it proceeded to give me the most profoundly terrible results i've ever seen. The chippers (which I did not sharpen) are so variable in size and length that the bottom of each recess wasn't anything approaching flat or even, but jagged and sloped. The blades burrned their way through even the thinnest of test pieces. I was so impressed with how bad this set operated that I went inside and checked other online reviews to see what people had to say. To my relief I was met (without having to filter my results) with a string of one star reviews making the exact complaints I had with the set-very inaccurate cuts without flat bottoms and generally rotten results. I am not sure what the four and five star reviewers on this site are doing to make this set useable, but I am warning you that you will not be pleased with its performance. Beware: it looks like a decent enough set with nice looking components and in a nice wooden box, but the box and shims are the only worthy elements in this purchase. It is an incredibly horrible piece of junk.

Nice storage box. Able to fine tune cutting width to less than 1/16th of inch with spacers.

Does not cut a clean notch.

First dado set I ever owned. Works great, wish I would have bought one years ago.

The blades cut fine. The chippers did not deliver a flat bottom in the dado. The metal washers were troublesome.

Not precise for finer cuts. I will be buying the Diablo set for precision cuts.

Using this on an older table saw has made life so much better for my small projects. Only complaint I have is the shavers tend to slide around between the outer blades a bit, the teeth get close to each other which bothers me from a safety standpoint. For the money it works great and I would recommend it!

Smooth and precise cuts.
