Clean Dado Work
By D. Moore
I'm a beginner wood worker or cabinet makerand this is my first stacked dado set.The blades came in a nice case. The widthswere clearly marked on each blade. So assemblingthe right width is easy and straight forwardeven if you loose the instructions. The instructions,while brief, were understandable, and straight forward.There is even a small pocket in the case to hold the instructions.One small gripe with the case is that the shims dont sitnicely in the case, and if you move the case aroundwith it open, like when you move it to the workbenchafter installing the blades for a quick cut, the shimswill not always stay in place. They almost always jumpor slide out of their shallow pocket from within the case.This set performs exactly as expected.There are plenty of shims, so adjusting tothe exact width is not a problem.One of the shims was so thin, that I didntrealize that it was hung up on one of thethreads of the arbor, and as a result, themetal around the hole of the shim became slightlydeformed while I was tightening the blades andthe shim in the saw.I've used the dado set for cutting approx150ft to 200ft of different width dados. Most of themin oak, or oak veneer. The widths I mostcommonly used were 1/4 and 3/4. For some reasonI had to slightly shim out the stack to get exactly3/4. I can't go much larger on my saw, becausethe arbor isn't long enough to accomdate more than3/4 inch stack of dados, even with the stabilizingwasher removed. (My saw has a name printed on itmost commonly associated with plumbing tools.)The resulting dados were smooth, flat bottomed,with nice crisp edges. Very little tear-outor splintering. Just like I would expect.Some had recommended that I get a smaller 6 inch diameterstack, as the weight of an 8 inch diameter stack mightbe a bit much for my 13 AMP saw, but I noticed no problemswith power.I recommend getting or making 2 or 3 zero clearanceinserts for your saw. Then you can use the insert thatwill be sliced up the least for your current dado cut.Keep one for narrow or shallow dados, and another deepand or wide dados.Overall, this set is as good or better than I expected.

Impressive
By Knotscott
This dado set replaced a very good Freud SD208. The DW7670 set has (6) 4-tooth chippers as opposed to the Freud's (5) 2-tooth chippers. The 7670 also has 24 tooth outside cutters....twice what the SD208 had. The result of the extra teeth is a smoother bottom on dados and rabbets. The SD208 left minor striping marks on the bottom...it's a small issue, but is nice not to have the marks at all. It also seems to make cleaner cuts along the edges.The shim stock and carrying case are much nicer on the DeWalt, however the DW's teeth have smaller carbide than the Freud, and the chippers aren't as massive. Because the chippers are lighter weight, the DW7670 comes up to speed alot faster, and allows deeper cuts with less bogging down on my saw....an added benefit I had not expected. Other than being made in China, I have no big issues with the set and am happy that I upgraded. It's design is more similar to dado sets costing nearly $200. I've quite happy with the overall performance and especially the great value.

Excellent Dado Head
By Alan Richrod
This is a good product, pure and simple. The review below from D. Moore is spot on. I use a lot of different woods and this set cuts smooth, accurate, and consistent dados with no grooves. It's also pretty quiet for a dado head. I've used it on plywood, oak, koa, maple, purpleheart, and others. The cuts are exactly the same width from hardwood to softwood from the same set up. You may find another brand as good but there may well be none that are better.
