The Mibro Group 416381 Carbide Stacking Dado Blade Set - 14 Pieces, Silver, 8"

This stack is surpisingly decent for the money. But the setup instructions might be confusing to a dado newb so I can't help but wonder if some of the bad reviews were from users that misinterpreted the instructions the way I almost did & set up the blades incorrectly. When the blades and chippers are oriented properly, they cut smoothly and very flat. On box joints, the shoulders are pristine and the bottoms are pretty darn smooth & very flat. And little to no tear-out when using a backer board. Light sanding is to be expected, but very little cleanup work. I almost got the blade orientation wrong based on the vague way in which the instructions describe orientation of the blades, but a quick & obvious rethink made more sense. If you're reading this and opt to buy these blades, despite the lack of specific instructions within the manual, each of the outer blades are to be oriented with they're printed sides facing out opposing one another - the inside blade facing out to the left of the saw and the outer blade facing out to the right of the saw - and the teeth facing down towards you when you're standing in front of the saw. And the chipper teeth obviously are facing the front as well. The outer blades right out of the packaging appear to be the same and they are not labeled inside/outside or left/right, but they can only be oriented one way in which the labels are both facing out away from each other and the teeth facing you/pointed down at the front, if that makes sense. You'll see. I'm very black and white and literal so it took me a minute but most people probably won't read it the way I did. Although had I put them on the way the diagrams suggest, the results would have been the unevenness, scorching, and tear out that many have complained of. Also, it's tempting to go slow with these blades because there's so much material being removed, but if you go too slow you will definitely scorch the wood and leave melted resin on the blade which spontaneously will dull it. And then all the cuts will suck. So move through at a fairly normal pace. Making multiple passes if necessary. But I went through three quarter inch yellow pine in one pass and the joints were pretty flawless. Little to no cleanup. I've done half inch dados & box joints with this stack & so far the results have been excellent. No regrets spending half the money on these instead of Freud or DeWalt. Highly recommend. Also recommend keeping them clean for optimal performance. Stiff brush with WD40 works well. Peace.

A high-quality, precision item—in addition to its robust construction. 100% recommended.

I am using a Ridgid portable table saw (can't remember the number but it ends in 12. This table saw takes a 10" blade, however, with a dado blade it calls for a 6" blade. This one is technically TOO BIG, and the reason is that it requires more power from the engine to use a larger blade. The manual ACTUALLY STATES it can take a dado, and how to set it up. With that said, this saw NEVER MADE a dado blade set OR a faceplate for one (it's not called a face plate, but can't recall the name). Anyway, you'll have to MAKE your own using plywood and a saw to cut it out. There are even how to videos on YouTube on making your own insert plate. Once you get that done, the dado comes with very specific instuctions on how to SET IT UP. You MUST follow them exactly or risk damagign your blades or yourself. Also read you saw manual. This cuts very cleanly and very well. I am cutting kiln dried HARD maple boards and making a nickle gap edge, 1/2" wide by 1/2" deep. The boards are 1" thick and this set-up fits PERFECT. I highly recommend the use of a feather board to help push the top of the board and hold it on the dado. With that said, I did notice some strange wear and tear on my dado blade tips. My normal saw I didn't see this. So I am HOPING it holds up through the rest of my massive stack, and doesn't start throwing carbide tips at me. Hence minus a star. So glad I didn't pay more, this gets it done and is a great "beginner's" set!

I'm not an experienced joint cutter, but these worked very well for me. I was able to assemble the stack, and used it on an old table saw. Still got great results, and my project looked good. Can cut large joints, and has lots of blades to stack. Cut fast, clean and accurate. High quality material, great finish on blades.

I needed to create a ledge for a bar i was building for a friend. the bar top is 3/4 inch BC plywood and i didnt want the edges showing. after a back and forth i decided to get 2 x 3s and dado a channel in. i was dreading using a normal tablesaw to rip a channel into the wood. I came across this and wrestled with myself on if this would work (I have a 10.5 inch dewalt tablesaw). after researching getting a router or doing other dados i decided to give this a try. it came in with the case cracked (it was a bad sign but i trudged on). after setting up the inner blades I did a test rip and found the channel a tad to big (but was very optimistic on the results). after resetting the blades with removing the 1/16th inner blade i did another run and it was perfect. so finishing the bar and thinking about it, the 50-60 bucks I payed was well worth the investment. I hope the picture does the bar justice. the channel was clean and I didnt have to do any cleanup on it. it slotted right into the plywood with no fuss. the channel itself was 3/4 by 3/4.

I purchased this Dado set to use with my Dewalt 10” table saw to cut dados for building cabinets. I priced other dado blade sets like Freud but was far too expensive. After making some cuts, I can say that this set performs great! Easy to set, instructions are right on for setting different sizes, even the case is great for storing all the blades and spacers. Only negative (if you want to call it negative) is the shim removal gets a little tricky because of the threaded post. Very satisfied with this purchase and great for part time shop use.

This set is just ok. I’ve used it several times. It gets the primary job done, but leaves you with some cleanup work to do in its wake. It doesn’t leave a level surface on crosscut dados or rabbets. Rip versions come out fine. For the crosscuts it leaves a fairly course bottom to the cut. I realize these aren’t flat tooth blades or anything. But still. It’s annoying to have to sand down every single time. Also, the shims in the package are awkward. And don’t trust the measurement chart. It’s way off. Just start under the width you need and then move the fence until you get the correct cut.

I was l little wary of purchasing this set after reading some of these negative reviews. But at half the price of big name dado sets, I decided it was worth a shot and am glad that I did. Upon receiving the set I installed the 2 outer blades for a 1/4" cut (according to documentation) in American Elm lumber. The dado was perfect and clean in this very hard wood but slightly undersized. Slightly undersized is a good thing in my case as the 5mm Poplar plywood panel fit perfectly in the dado, 1 shim will be needed for full 1/4". I next cut a 3/4" dado in the same wood, 2 outers and 4 chippers. This dado was perfect in shape as well, slightly ragged bottoms but it is a dado cut after all. This was slightly undersized, this would be fine for plywood but once again, a shim is required for full 3/4". All of these cuts were perfectly shaped, cut easily with no tearout. This is a great set and a bargain. Maybe the negative reviews are from people that failed to set the stacks correctly or have underpowered saws (I use a 1980's Craftsman).

Está muy buena. Aunque hay que fijarse si tú sierra de mesa puede usar este tipo de hojas. Tengo una skil de las que tiene la patas incorporadas y no aguanta todos los discos juntos.

I was supposed to receive it on Friday the 19th, surprisingly I received it yesterday Tuesday the 16th! I checked all the contents, I received all the 14 pieces, no evidence of any defects. My previous experience doing dadoes was at a furniture company working with an old Tannewitz table saw, so far the tests that I have done this morning seem to be of a similar quality, of course I cannot get it to go as wide as I used to do it in that old Tannewitz. For the home woodworking that I do, I think it is quite sufficient. I think it is worth it for the price, I do recommend it.

Very nice, used on my 10 inch table saw. Nice and clean rebates. I love this product

Voor de prijs zeer tevreden met het product. De testsnede is gemaakt met 3 chippers en 2 shims. De groef heeft een vlakke bodem, in tegenstelling tot eerdere reviews. Verpakking was kapot bij levering, maar product zelf is intact. Zeer vlotte levering en communicatie met verkoper.

Received fast and well packed Product itself is excellent Very neat and sturdy storage box and complete with all metal shims and cutters Work perfect Fitted on Radial arm saw and really very satisfied with quality and performance of dado head Highly recommended
