| About this Joint Cutter Set
Freud has developed a method of creating perfectly square, flat-bottom box joints on a table saw without using a dado set or saw blade. This patent-pending innovation is easy to use: simply install the two 8-inch diameter, 5/8-inch arbor blades on a table saw with the blades back-to-back for 1/4-inch box joints, or face-to-face for 3/8-inch box joints. Combine this with Freud's Tico Hi-Density Carbide and Silver I.C.E. Coating, and you can make perfectly square and precise box joints quickly and cleanly the very first time. This set includes instructions for making box joints and building a box joint jig. Key Tech Specs:
- Creates 1/4-inch or 3/8-inch box joints
- Silver I.C.E. coated blades
- 5/8-inch arbors
Applications
Use these blades on all table saws for cutting grooves to create box joints in hardwoods and softwoods. Warranty
This set is covered by Freud's limited lifetime warranty.

I used it right out of the box with the instructions for a jig and it performed as they say. I made 3 drawers for a computer desk and it only took a few tries to get the jig working very well.

These blades make perfect 1/4" and 3/8" box joints. I've also use them for dadoe cuts. A great set.

I didn't really NEED this... Afer all, I already had a nice Freud Dado set and a #10 grind Forrest blade, both of which can do box joint cuts. But it sure is convenient to just throw the blades on and start cutting -- perfect 1/4 or 3/8 cuts, with no shims, adjustments, or multiple passes required.
Cuts very cleanly and makes a perfectly square bottom as needed for box joints. I have several other Freud blades, and like those the quality of this set is top notch.
Instant Box Joint Success January 10, 2008

After trying to make a box joint jig and still not happy with the results, I was a bit hesitant about trying this set. Boy was I wrong! Following the easy to understand and easier to make instructions and jig, my first porject was a huge success. For me at least the price was a considerable amount, but will have a high quality addition to my tools for years to come....

Chalk another innovation from Freud!! This Dado set makes perfect box joints. After trying a countless number of other jigs using routers, I decided to try this dado set. The most important aspect about using this dado, is the jig itself. Make a quality jig that is adjustable for finger width, make sure the miter bar has no slop, and the index finger is tight to hold the work piece while cutting the other slots. Once adjustments are fine tuned, results are flawless. The problem with using a router, is that its rotary cutting action from the bit tends to tear out the wood when the bit breaks through the slot. Using this Dado setup eliminates all that. Also, it's way faster than using a router. If I had to do all the experimenting over again, I would just buy this dado and scrap everything else. I am very happy with my purchase and would recommend this to anyone.
