This is an 8-inch stacked dado set built around two outside sawblades and six chippers, plus a metal shim kit. The chippers come in 1/8-inch, 3/32-inch and 1/16-inch widths, and the shims let you fine-tune the stack to hit a target groove width. A negative hook angle is the selling point: it is aimed at veneered plywood, melamine and other fragile sheet goods where a positive hook tends to tear out. It is approved by SawStop for use on professional SawStop models, which matters if you own one. Against typical dado sets it offers more chipper and shim flexibility than basic two-blade kits, and the flat-bottom, tear-out-free cut is what owners rate it for.

Rated 4.9 out of 5 across 11 ratings. Owners report clean, flat-bottomed grooves with little tear-out, including on veneered and melamine stock, and value the shim kit for hitting exact widths.
