Ultra-Shear Flat Top Dado Stack Set
Perfectly Flat Bottoms and Crisp Corners for Exposed Joinery
The Ultra-Shear Flat Top Dado Blade Set is the ultimate solution for woodworkers who want perfectly square, flat-bottomed dadoes without the frustration of “bat ears” ruining the look of exposed joinery. Unlike typical premium dado sets with bevel-edged outside teeth, Ultra-Shear’s Flat Top Dado Set features outside blades with all 24 teeth ground square to the same height as the chippers. This ensures flawless 90° corners and smooth, flat-bottom cuts that are perfect for box joints, half-laps, bridle joints, and any visible joinery in your woodworking projects.
Innovative 24-Tooth Outside Blades and 12-Tooth Chippers
This American-made dado set stands out with its 24-tooth outside blades, each with a 5° negative hook angle for clean and efficient cutting. All teeth are precisely leveled for a seamless, flat-bottomed finish. The set’s chippers also bring something unique to the table with their 12-tooth design and a 5° positive hook angle, which counteracts the negative hook of the outside blades, reducing feed resistance for a smooth cutting experience. The set includes:
- (1) 1/4" 12-Tooth Chipper
- (2) 1/8" 12-Tooth Chippers
- (1) 1/16" 12-Tooth Chipper
- (2) 24-Tooth Outside Blades
- (6) Magnetic Shims (Pairs of 0.010, 0.012, 0.015)
To help you achieve the perfect width, we’ve included magnetic shims that hold their position during blade changes, unlike the paper or plastic shims typically found in other dado sets.
No Rework Required for Exposed Joinery
When working with exposed joinery, this Dado Blade Set eliminates the need for additional clean-up after each cut. Instead of dealing with small triangles at the corners—commonly known as “bat ears”—your joints will come out clean and precise, saving you time while delivering a professional finish. For woodworkers who occasionally need to work with plywood, the Flat Top Dado Set is versatile enough to handle it. A shallow initial cut can score the face, helping to prevent tear-out, before cutting to final depth.
American-Made Quality
Like all Woodpeckers and Ultra-Shear products, the Flat Top Dado Blade Set is meticulously crafted and inspected in Strongsville, Ohio. With this unique dado set in your shop, you’ll achieve flawless exposed joints that highlight the craftsmanship of your work, every time.
