Deal alert: Freud 8" boxcutter blade set $25 at Sears

[LCHIEN]

I'm in southern WA and haven't had any luck finding these blades. So I have been trying to console myself with the thought that I can just use my router for making box joints. For those who have done it both ways, is there much of a difference?

P.S. Found a Craftsman set of molding triple cutter heads for $30 (model #93217) -- is that a good deal? Could they be used with the BT3000?

A good router bit will give you the advantages of the clean sides, square bottom-square corner cuts. In my experience I get a cleaner cut with the dado-type blade than a straight router bit, but a lot of people like it. If you can, use a spiral up-cut all carbide bit.

I found some of these in Nashville, TN for $24.97 as well.

I just picked up the last one in the Lebanon, PA store. marked at 50% off $49.99 and When I had them ring it up it came to $25.

Thanks for posting this.

Sears Hardware has them but...

they are not on the same clearance schedule. They will not, repeat will not price match to the stores or other SH's that have given the clearance. I tried with my copy of the receipt, no luck, they must like keeping stock on hand that never moves.

The Sears at the Rockaway Mall has one more. It is listed for $99 on the shelf, but rings up $25.00
