Review on Freud 6-inch x 5/8-inch x 1/8-inch HSS Industrial Planer and Jointer Knives (C350) with Enhanced SEO by Robby Fingaw

Revainrating 2 out of 5

EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED

I have several Freud circular saws and cutters and they have served me well for many years. The first two sets, 1-4" and 1-6", were awesome! Just. true and terribly sharp! This set? None of this applies! The cut is coarse. So coarse that when you lay them on a straight edge with a light behind them, they look like serrated steak knives! When I tightened the terminal screws. I accidentally hit one of the knives with my thumb. I must have cut myself badly. Even scratches! (The broken knives I removed were sharper). None of the knives are properly sharpened. One of the new knives is shaped like a banana and has been sold over 6,000 times from start to finish. I spent over an hour fighting alignment with the Oneway Multi Gauge (great tool!) before checking for straightness. These, as well as old blades, are sent to the sharpener. If, like me, you want to use them on your jointer right away, you will be disappointed. steak knife.

Pros
  • Great overall performance
Cons
  • Slightly torn
