Cut about 300 fingers 3/4" wide in 1" thick oak for finger joints. Sides and bottom of cuts were very clean but did get some tear out at the bottom. Leaves tiny bat ears cut at each side in bottom of joint. I noticed that if I cut across the grain I didn't get tear out, but I needed to cut into the end grain. Only needed to clean up tear out at bottom. Rest of cut was excellent. Came with plenty of shims and storage case keeps everything protected and together. Very happy with dado set.
