Review on πŸ”ͺ DEWALT Dado Blade Set: 8-Inch, 24-Tooth - Top Quality and Precision by Paul Zimmer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Flat bottom, EXCELLENT case.

Dado flat bottom. Well packaged (outer sheets with indestructible rubber edge protection). GREAT storage/carrying case with blades at the bottom and choppers at the top, each held in place by a threaded plastic nut. The outer knives have a raised cage and the chopper ends alternate in the body, keeping ALL the carbide teeth clear. Another review complained about the lack of flat bottom cuts and backed up this claim by showing a chart of the beveled edges of the outer blades from the manual - WRONG. ! Check out the photos. The outer blades have an alternate bevel (ATB) with a flat tooth (NOTE: I set the blades this way for illustration ONLY, change teeth when used). The difference in depth between beveled and flat teeth was odd. I noticed the beveled tooth and it's less than a thousandth of an inch. My only complaint was with the over locknut dimensions given in the instructions. For a perfect 3/8" groove, I set what DeWalt lists as 11/32 (-1/32). I'm not deducting a star for that. When making box connections, don't measure with calipers. but you're 32 behind, you won't have much success and probably you'll change your hobby soon anyway...
