The SBOX8 makes box-joint construction fast and simple for professional cabinetmakers and weekend woodworkers alike.

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.

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.

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. It makes it so convenient to cut box joints, that I find I use them much more than I would without this blade set. Not a huge deal--that's why wood putty was invented. 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.
This box joint set has only flat top teeth, so there's no groove on either side of the cut. I've used it to make boxes, drawers, and a display case. A good dado set has flat top teeth and beveled teeth. 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. The reason.
The flat top teeth leave a nice flat-bottomed dado. 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. 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. 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. 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.
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.
My first project cuts were a big success. Blades are of excellent quality: very sharp and true. Overall results depend on both the Box-joint blades and precision of set-up.
This was it. Even though the quality was good, I wanted to find something that could be better. 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. I use dado blades often in my woodworking projects, particularly 3/8". I have been using a Freud dado set with good results for the past couple of years. The cut is cleaner and it doesn't leave any grooves.
Great tool, simple to use and once the jig is tuned, it performs to perfection. As expected with Freud products, the box joint cutter did not disappoint me. 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.
