As they say; “in the land of the blind the one eyed man is king..” so without any competition that I was able to find in South Africa this product is the best on the market. I was actually quite impressed by how clean a cut it makes, considering the price I think its performs pretty well. There are however 2 reasons why I give it only 3 stars:
– The box states a cutting range of 3.4 – 25.4mm. With the entire stack and all of the shims I get a maximum width of 22.1 mm . I would be very interested to see how they suggest a 25.4mm width dado should be cut.
– The 16mm bore on the blades was rough and struggled over my arbor, this was easily cleared up with a bit of sandpaper wrapped around a dowel in the drill press, but really not something an end user should have to do.
Final impression: room for improvement, but not a bad all round product for the price.

Like Jimbob this was the only affordable dado stack that I could find in South Africa. I purchased it in the hope that it would be more precise than the wobble blade that I was using in my table saw for doing box joints. Whilst it sets up easier that using wobble washers, I was disappointed to find that the cuts on the top of the slots are less accurate than I was previously achieving. This seems to be because the radius of the chipper blades are not exactly the same as the outer circular saw blades supplied as part of the set. I guess you get what you pay for …. the box clearly states “made in China” which may explain things.
