The result was the Dado Pro Set, designed with the following features: Anti- kickback design to reduce the possibility of overfeeding that can occur when cutting mass material, splinter resistant cuts in veneer plywood, melamine and hard and soft woods, five chippers (4x1/8” - 1x1/16”) keep the cut flat and virtually free from tear out. Ideal for underpowered saws. Shim sets included for cuts between 1/4" and 13/16". The negative hook angle allows for a less aggressive and smoother cut. Delivered in a sturdy reusable carrying case.

  • 5.0 out of 5 stars In repeated cuts, it was perfectly the same and very clean.
I have only used it once for a 1/4 x 1/4 on a douglas fir stair rail. So no big challenge. But the painter painted in the groove so I had to recut it. I had not changed the saw - it cleanly cut just paint out. Then the insert piece was primed so I had to widen the groove - 4 layers of blue tape - one cut at a time and each was perfect (4 to get best fit). I will soon be doing shelving in cabinets and doing shelf insert dado cuts. I assume all will be perfect. ... show more

  • 5.0 out of 5 stars Great value priced 8 inch dado set - smooth clean cuts in plywood and hardwood.
Purchased the CMT #230.012.08 stacked dado set. It made clean, smooth sided 1/4 inch and 3/4 inch wide cuts in maple veneer plywood as well as maple and poplar hardwood. I bought this from Amazon to use on my Delta 36-725 table saw on sale for $89.48. It was between this CMT dado set and the Freud SD208S dado set. I liked that CMT has 4 chippers - 1/8 inch and 1 chipper 1/16 inch, the Freud only has 3 chippers 1/8. The shims that are included in the set are plastic and come in various thicknesses - there is a chart listing how to use the various chippers and shims to get the right size (width) dado. For a stacked dado set under $100 this is a great value! I have included pictures of the dado set hanging on my saw blade holder I made so that you can see what it looks like. Updated my rating to 5 stars after additional use, for the price and value this would be hard to beat! ... show more

  • 5.0 out of 5 stars We’ll made for a lot less money - great value
We’ll made, and damn sharp set of blades. Chippers could be a little easer to install without having to mess with getting them lined up, but they do make clean cuts

  • 3.0 out of 5 stars Not a flat bottom.
The chipper is shorter that the blades leaving a small ridge down the middle of the groove. I tried different chippers and another set with no change. I tried different rate of feed and multiple passes.

  • 5.0 out of 5 stars FINALLY! Flat.
After a couple years of cleaning up jagged dados made with my cheapo set, I can finally get completely flat dados & rabbets without a sharp chisel. Like they say, you get what you pay for unless you're expecting it from congress.

  • 1.0 out of 5 stars Not as advertised
The markings on the blades did not match the instructions. I called CMT and they said some sets did go out with the wrong blades. I talked to them on Friday and was told it would not be safe to use the set until I talked to their tech person on Monday.I sent the blades back.

  • 5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Dado Stack
This stack received great reviews in fine woodworking and was the main reason I purchased it from Woodcraft for around $130. The dado set produces perfect flat bottom dados and rabbets. I've run the set in my small professional shop for three years on a variety of projects including several that incorporated plywood, which is very abrasive and have not had to resharpen yet. It comes with shims so you can produce tight fitting joints on sanded plywood. The hard plastic case with foam interior has kept the blades safe when not in use. There isn't one problem that I've had with the product over the last few years. One small piece of advice, keep our feed rate down so that the blades can do the work. If you push through too quickly the workpiece will have a tendency to drift especially if you cutting dados larger than 1/2" and are holding the material by hand. ... show more

  • 5.0 out of 5 stars 3rd Dado set and it is about the same as others.
I had a wobble one then a freud stacking one... This was almost exactly like the freud staking Dado set. It looks to have been made in the same factory... I use it on a 3hp sawstop industrial table saw and it runs true and nice through white oak, hickory and walnut. It is easy to find the correct shims to match width needed. I got a bout a few thousand feet of tongue and grove with the freud and expect to get the same out of this... ... show more
