Yes, I remember you telling me about the no shims Freud set. I was
wondering how clean it cuts? For example, does it leave any
unacceptable splintering or tear out on dado edges or ends? In most
cases some tear out wouldn't bother me, such as when I was cutting
dados in the cedar outdoor furniture I build the past two summers.

However, if I was dadoing some cabinet grade hardwood veneered
plywood, and there was some splintering, I'd be more concerned.
