When I bought my GMC 12" machine, the replacement knives were about $20 a set, now I don't seem able to get them for under $50 anywhere near where I live, so I am thinking of getting a set of TCT knives, which are $150 a set.
I do a lot of work with Jarrah, and the HSS + 18% carbide knives do not last too long before needing sharpening, which costs $38 a set.
So, I need to know if the TCT blades would be an economic solution, and if one of these would extend the time between professional sharpening of the TCT knives.
