I like high-end woodworking tools because they usually deliver a noticeable improvement in quality. Hey- this blade set LOOKS beautiful. But the cut quality was lacking compared to nearly every dado blade I have.It cut deep ridges on both outer blades, much deeper than I've come to expect from a dado stack. It honestly looked like three dados in one! I will concede that even the best manufacturers have occasional issues. I'm open to updating my review if Forrest feels this is out of line with prior user experience.I want to cut hardwood joinery with my dado blade, like tenons tongue and groove and half-laps. This requires a fairly flat cut on multiple passes. In other words I need to make cuts wider than the full stack. When I do that, the outer blades cut WAY TOO DEEP. Not just average scoring lines. You could never sand out the bat wing grooves this set leaves.So disappointed, especially considering the price is nearly twice other premium sets.

The new packaging and range of thicknesses is a big improvement from the early sets
