High-Speed Steel (HSS) Planer Blades Set of 3 - Replacement for DEWALT DW7342 DW734 by POWERTEC 12801 Review

This is the second set I have bought to replace my Dewalt planer. The first set lasted several months in use. I liked them so much that I ordered another set in November 2017 "just in case". Decided to change knives in April 2018 after noticing some wear and tear. The new set is complete junk. The first 1" x 4" pine board looked worse than it did before it was put through the planer.

Above all, never touch the edges of these blades; They're damn sharp and can cause significant tissue damage without much encouragement. I have replaced several well used Original Equipment knives with these knives and have been very pleased with the improved performance of the planer. First I carved some old train cherries with a new set of knives and it was a delight. The surface

I have a DeWalt planer and decided to try these off-brand knives to save a few bucks on maintenance costs. This turned out to be a bug and I'm going back to the OEM brand. No problem and all holes are perfectly matched. === Not so good stuff ===* The very first board I carved, a 5/4 piece of cedar, had a few visible little grooves. Thinking it might be rough burrs or maybe a foreign object stuck to the blades, I disassembled the plane and blew all the blades with compressed air. Repeating the…
