Is there any chipout when cutting across the grain of hardwoods and/or plywood?

Does very well with hardwood -- almost no chipout. Plywood is a little more difficult, so I sometimes score the wood with the blade set very low before cutting the full depth.

No. This is the best set that I have found for that reason. I have had many different sets over the years and this has been the one that I like the most.

Hi Roger: This stacked dado system is the best I've found in over 50 years of woodworking. I have had little to no chip-out problems. The trick is keeping the blades sharp and in great condition, with no pitch or rust. Good luck, Cal

My only experience with this dado blade is with pine and it worked flawlessly over a long period of time while I was making shiplap siding, I would imagine it would work very well with hardwoods too, plywood...not really sure. It's a very high quality blade.

I haven't had any significant or noticeable chipping on hardwoods on plywood occasionally the small minute hair like chips. I have been pleased with the quality and sharpness of the blades.

Yes there is always that possibility and it all depends on the grain of the wood. Try taping your Hardwood if your worried about it! An Extreme would be clamping a sacrificial piece of paneling to the top of the hardwood and cutting through both paneling Autobody tape and then your material.

Depends on the moisture content of the plywood. Low moisture and low quality plywood will chip out and should be taped with a high quality autobody masking tape before cutting. This will reduce chip out!

I have not had any chipout when cutting either hardwoods or plywood. If this is a concern for furniture building I would probably use a backing board so your good piece is not the last thing the set touches just to be extra safe.

Works great on plywood. I used it to make a wall cabinet. The carcase was Oak faced plywood and I had no splintering at all. Very clean dados.

Pretty much any drill will work on softwoods and plywood. With dense hardwoods a robust drill is better. I also use a dry lube on the drill bit. The faster the drill the cleaner the bit will cut. My favorite is the DeWalt 1/2" 20volt V-max in drill mode. Driving long screws in dense wood the hammer function comes in handy. I use the Kreg system a lot.

To date, I have only planed alder, cherry and walnut. Recognizing the limits of ANY of the smaller planers, I tend to take more passes with less wood removed with each pass. I have had zero to minimal issues with snipe with this machine right out of the box.

This set does very well on both plywood and hardwood. I take a slightly smaller "bite" on plywood as a precaution but I've never encountered any significant splintering or tearout.

Mine did fine cutting in similar situations. We did a lot of trim and it was always pretty square.

No... It is a mighty fine trim saw or plywood cutter, in addition to light tile and masonary work, but, can't be used for flush cutting. That type of cut is best handled by a dedicated saw or one of the "sonic" type saws. I use a Rockwell Sonicrafter for that type of cut (toe-kick for floor easement).

As with so many things, it depends on what kind of wood you use. It does nothave a large firebox, so requires regular feeding. Yes chips cut off a log workfine.

Works great when cutting across the grain. Dust port tends to clog when cutting with the grain which is a common issue with miter saws in my experience.

I have not used it on plywood. But I would stay away from plywood in general because the glue and the many layers of plywood would be very hard on the blade. I would imagine even a little dangerous. Since the blade could get stuck in it , sending wood chips flying all over. But I don't see why it shouldn't work providing you want to risk what I mentioned above.

Sure does, it chip hard wood like oak too but the blade worn out fast. Chip Plywood, mdf...no problems

Oops wrong product, they do cut through wood but kinda shred plywood when the tap starts cutting I would use regular drill bits instead of these

absolutely NO. the saw chips small tile. I had to get a wet saw to do my tile work

Not to my knowledge. I do not think the saw maxi was designed for fine cut you would need for flush corners. A miter saw or a miter box with a good saw should do it. Stanley and Buck would be a good choice

If everything is square, there should not be a problem. I occasionally use paste wax on top and slides. Everything works smoother, plus lumber slides on saw easier.

Yes and no! The pieces of wood are held on with screws through a plastic matrix. There are extra holes in the matrix but they don't always line up with the cut pieces of wood. Takes a bit of thinking. I used a table saw, after I put the screws in the needed positions. it's a moderately difficult task cutting and fitting. Mine came out great, after some engineering and work. You'll love it when it's done.

Your need good square make line straight across. You should be able too cut it with table saw, but no circular saw has the cutting depth or power to effectively cut thru this maple top, but since left mine at full length for a large desk that I built with custom welded stainless steel legs and its a beast... but should be able find You Tube tutorial on how to Cross Cut on table saw http://youtu.be/Lxi8EWBWcOU do hope this helps you...
