Fit for table saws, this set speeds up joint cutting by eliminating the need for shims and adjustments.Strong, Precise Box Joints in Minutes
The SBOX8 makes box-joint construction fast and simple for professional cabinetmakers and weekend woodworkers alike. This joint-cutter set, which features two eight-inch, 20-tooth blades with 5/8-inch arbors, is designed to help you achieve accurate box joints every time. By simply attaching this set's blades to a table saw, you can produce perfectly square cuts, so joints fit securely together for a flush, strong hold.

With this method, you'll eliminate the need for dado sets or saw blades, which often require shims and adjustments. The result is an attractive finished workpiece and quick job turnaround.

MicroGrain Carbide Tips for Long-Lasting Performance
So you can get maximum performance out of this set, the blade components are constructed with Freud's TiCo Hi-Density Carbide. This means the blades can withstand numerous sharpenings and still retain their precision. And a Tri-metal Brazing process gives the blades impact resistance, so they last for the long term without dulling (a condition that can cause torn wood and uneven cuts).

What Customers Say About Freud SBOX8 Box Joint Cutter Set, Cuts 1/4-Inch and 3/8-Inch grooves.:

But if you're a perfectionist, it's annoying. The beveled teeth have the bevel points facing the outside of the dado stack and cut a groove slightly deeper than the flat top teeth. The reason. When I bought this set, I was not enthusiastic about being married to only 1/4 or 3/8 finger joints, but I got over it.

The flat top teeth leave a nice flat-bottomed dado. I own a Freud dado set and have used it to cut box joints.and it works; however, this dedicated box joint blade set yields a better box joint. This box joint set has only flat top teeth, so there's no groove on either side of the cut. It's a pleasure to use. While this groove allows the cutter to cleanly slice through plywood veneers and leave a clean dado without torn wood fibers attached in the bottom corners of the dado, it does leave the grooves cut by those beveled teeth on either side of the dado bottom.

Nice and precise. I don't have to fiddle around with shimming the blades as I did when I was using a dado set for this application. A good dado set has flat top teeth and beveled teeth. I always use the 3/8 configuration, and it has made my box joint jig much simpler--I no longer need an adjustable jig since I'm always cutting 3/8 box joints.so this blade set has simplified my life. So, if you use a standard dado set for box joints, each notch has those darn grooves that prevent a perfect fit of the fingers of the adjacent parts.

Not a huge deal--that's why wood putty was invented. I've used it to make boxes, drawers, and a display case. It makes it so convenient to cut box joints, that I find I use them much more than I would without this blade set.

Blades are of excellent quality: very sharp and true. My first project cuts were a big success. Overall results depend on both the Box-joint blades and precision of set-up.

I use dado blades often in my woodworking projects, particularly 3/8". This was it. I have been using a Freud dado set with good results for the past couple of years. Even though the quality was good, I wanted to find something that could be better. The cut is cleaner and it doesn't leave any grooves. The only downside is that you can only cut 1/4" or 3/8" joints with it, but that isn't a problem for what I use it for.

As expected with Freud products, the box joint cutter did not disappoint me. Great tool, simple to use and once the jig is tuned, it performs to perfection. No real surprise here.

The box joint cutter is a high quality tool and appears to have the ability to produce numerous cuts without need to be resharpened.The cut is absolutely square and with very little if any tearout, I back up the cut in oak with extra material and no tearout is noticed. This tool absolutely meets all my expectations.
