My philosiphy is to buy the best and only cry once (and I cried like a baby when I bought this). But now that it's paid for, I don't worry about my dado performance. It has cut sharp, splinter free dados in everything I have tried. Features 4 bladed chippers including a 3/32" chipper, and a shim set for fine adjustments. An excellent complement for a Woodworker II combo blade. A six inch set is recommended for most contractor saws because of the rotating mass. Try that wobble type dado if you must, just bookmark this page for when you finally wise up.

After using the Forrest Dado King I will be updating all my saw blades to the Forrest brand. The Forrest Dado is easy to use and produces outstanding results. It is well worth the investment even for the novice woodworker like me.

The Forrest 6" x 24-Tooth Dado Set cuts perfect dados without a doubt. The problem is, mine is not perfecty accurate. For 3/4" it calls for both outside blades and 4 - 1/4" chippers. When I put this configuration on, it is not 3/4". I have to use the plastic shims. For [the price], this is not acceptable in my book. I don't know if I just got a bad set or if this is the way they are made. Besides that, the cut is nothing less than perfect....
