Thread: GMC Thicknesser blades

Thanks dangermouse, sounds like they will do the job (GMC spec is 319x18.2x3.2)

Workgoose, thank you for the good oil - were they hollow ground originally, or is that the way to go down the track with sharpening?

cheers,

Ned

There's no reason that standard 19mm blade stock wont fit if they are not the disposable type.

iron bark, I don't think they were hollow ground originally, but I do know that they are now a lot sharper then when first bought with the machine. My saw doctor also tells me than he can easily get new ones if required, so they must be reasonably easy to find.

Thanks workgoose, the information is much appreciated

Have a good safe Xmas

Ned

On the bright side, you could spill a whole glass of wine on it and not one drop would hit the floor.

Tsk, tsk.. Waste not want not. The sacrilege of pouring wine out to waste.

Ps Merry Christmas Gumby and to everyone else.

Hi Guys, been lurking around the forum for quite a while now but never got round to posting until now so I hope this works.

I to have a GMC thicknesser and bought a set of the Carbatec 12.5" tungsten blades, when I first saw this post I began to think maybe they would not fit.
Got around to fitting them today they fit perfectly in the GMC they are only single sided unlike the GMC originals but I hope they last a bit longer on the hard stuff.


Cheers

Thanks droog,

At least I now know the Carba-tec blades will fit.

Out of interest did you ever have the originals sharpened and was it successful??

Cheers, Ned
