Our take on the 6" x 16T x 8 pc x 4T Chipper Super Dado
This is an 8-inch stacked dado set with two outside scoring blades and six chippers, plus a metal shim kit for fine width adjustment. The -5 degree negative hook angle is aimed at fragile veneers and melamine, where a positive hook tends to chip the edges. It also cuts the undersized 15/32" and 23/32" grooves that plywood actually needs, which many basic sets skip. It suits cabinet and furniture makers who cut a lot of plywood and veneered sheet goods on a table saw or radial arm saw.
- Negative hook angle limits tear-out on veneers and melamine
- Cuts undersized 15/32" and 23/32" plywood grooves
- Metal shim kit in four thicknesses included
- Works on both table saw and radial arm saws
- Stack size chart and storage case included
- Eight-inch diameter needs a saw with enough power and arbor capacity
- Many chippers and shims to stack and keep track of
- No mention of a case for the loose shims
- Negative hook cuts slower than a positive hook in softwood

About the 6" x 16T x 8 pc x 4T Chipper Super Dado
This is a 6-inch stack dado set for cutting grooves (dados). It includes 2 outside dado blades with 16 teeth each, plus 4-tooth chippers and a metal shim kit for adjusting the stack width. The blades have a -5 degree negative hook angle.
The set works on both table saws and radial arm saws. It cuts flat-bottom, tear-out-free dado grooves in hardwoods and softwoods. The negative hook angle also suits fragile veneers and melamine. The set also cuts grooves for undersized plywood, in 15/32" and 23/32" widths.
An instruction sheet with a stack size chart comes with the set. It ships in a cardboard storage case.

Questions and answers
- What widths can this dado set cut?
- The two outside blades plus six chippers build the stack, and the four shim thicknesses fill the gaps between chipper sizes. The included stack size chart maps the combinations to finished groove widths.
- Will it fit my table saw?
- It is an 8-inch set, so your saw needs an arbor and blade capacity rated for an 8-inch stack. It also mounts on radial arm saws.
- Does it cut clean grooves in melamine?
- The -5 degree negative hook angle is designed for that. It scores the surface before lifting the chip, which reduces chipping on melamine and fragile veneers.
- Can it cut grooves for plywood that is thinner than its nominal size?
- Yes. It cuts 15/32" and 23/32" grooves for undersized plywood, alongside standard widths.
- What comes in the box?
- Two outside dado blades, four 1/8" chippers, one 1/16" chipper, one 3/32" chipper, a metal shim kit with two each of .005", .010", .015" and .020", an instruction sheet with a stack size chart, and a cardboard storage case.
- Is a negative hook blade harder to push through the cut?
- A negative hook angle cuts less aggressively than a positive hook, so feed is slower and the saw needs adequate power. In return you get cleaner edges on veneer and melamine.
