Would this be good for cutting 3/8" dadoes and rabbets cross-grain in oak for locking joints? Thanks, Nic

i have used this blade set for 7+ years, cuts the flatest dadoes i have ever seen...but always some " fuzz "when crosscutting oak.

NicI am not satisfied with this product. It does not produce the flat bottoms it claims to.

Until I got a stacked dado set I used these blades to cut dadoes. It should work fine. Note that cross grain cuts in Oak can leave "fuzzy" edges, but that's the case also with a regular dado blade.

This set of dado blades is very sharp and has the capability of handling oak crosscut dados and rabbets easily

I used it to cut through a 1/2 plywood sheet and had to give the hole saw a break half way between. Of course oak is harder so you might want to rest it more. Even though it takes time (maybe 20 minutes for one hole) it gives you a perfect circle instead of using a jig saw and having uneven edges. Best of luck!

Remember, it's designed to merely join two parts at a 90-degree angle. I think the problem would lie with the inside corner with mitered joints. But as long as your cuts are square (and the material fits), all should go well.

It wouldn't be suitable for 1/4 inch stock over 3.5" wide. If you replace the stock blade with a small tooted finish blade it would be just the ticket. In fact it can cross cut a 2" X 4" but miters of this size lumber are impossible. Fine for 3/4" thick or smaller stock.

I am not an expert on what you are cutting, I cut oak. Just ask yourself, if this blade doesn't cut it, what's the alternative?

not well. The tool is well made and strong but it is made for cutting smaller thinner wood. this is not a corded tool replacement, rather a small jig saw helper.

Sounds like this saw may be just what you need. It's very simple to operate and the blades don't easily break or come loose. It has more than adequate power for most wood projects. I actually used it mostly on fiberboard but some wood and a little bit of thin sheet metal. It did everything I asked of it except cut a straight cut which all depends on the operator. If this is in your price range I think you'll be quite satisfied with it.

Yes, that was one of the main reasons I purchased this saw. I use a 8" stacked dado set with no problems in pine, poplar, and MDF.

This is a hack saw that is used for metal. Since you need one to cut light weight wood such as bass wood, poplar or pine check out the Stanley 20-221 mini utility saw. This kind of saw would be good for wood probably less than 1/2" thick. If you want to cut thicker wood check out the cross cut saws. They all are rated not just by length but by the number of points (PTS). The more points the finer the cut, it also means it will take longer to cut through the wood. If you are doing modeling type of work you can use several different types of saws but if you just want to cut straight a dovetail saw may help, there are also gent saws a smaller version. If need to cut circular patterns a coping saw or the lighter weight fret saw may be what you need. I realize that you only asked a simple question and I, obviously, gave a very long answer but I don't know exactly what you want to cut so I apologize. It just may be the first two options should be the choice to make.

I have a set of these blades and I use it on a Sears 10" table saw. If you have a 5/8th arbor, you should have no problem with using them. I am not familiar with your saw, but it should work. These blades produce the best cut of any blade I have used in the last 40 years. It is smooth, very square and sharp edged cut of anything I have used. If your saw takes regular blades, then give these a try, they are outstanding. And no I am not Teresa, I am her husband, she just lets me use the blades.

Not really. This is for finesse work where you need to do something delicate - undercut a door jamb, for instance. For lumber, either a circular saw or a chop saw, depending upon you exact application.

This saw has a pretty aggressive 'set', meaning the teeth will create a wide saw kerf. So yes, it'll probably get through the wood of the armoire. I've cut 2x4s with it without any issues. However, if the wood is hard (like oak), it's not going to be easy going, and sawing a straight line if you're not used to hand tools can be difficult. I suggest you use a circular saw for this kind of work. But, if you're willing to put in some elbow grease and you're not too picky about the final result (i.e. you can live with a wavy cut), then go for it.

I don't really do much joinery but I use it regularly to get narrow-kerf cut- offs on my turned spindle work. It's a great saw for that. I expect it would be great for dove-tails etc.

I have used mine on pine 2 x 4s (and a 4 x 4 post once if I remember correctly) which is probably a tougher wood than what's in your armoire so it should work as long as your blade is sharp. However, since the saw works opposite the way we are accustomed in the US, push vs pull, you need to be careful to get a clean and, especially, straight cut so your result looks professional. A few practice cuts on scrap wood should work. I speak as an amateur.

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.

Don't think the shank will fit a 3/8" chuck. This unit is designed to be used with 1/2" chuck. Additionally, depending on the material you are cutting you sould be using an 18-volt drill to achieve maximum power under pressure.

My husband said this would cut the steel if you use a steel blade and would be OK for occasional cuts. He would buy a larger reciprocating saw such as a Ryobi if you are going to cut a lot.
