Thread: Where do I get these planer/jointer blades

Any wood working machinery supplier ie Carbatec etc will have em

Thanks Rod, unfortunately our size doesn't seem to fit Carbatec either. Tried that.

What Rod said. They look like standard 6" jointer blades.

HSS Thicknesser & Jointer Blades : CARBA-TEC

Thanks NCArcher. 158mm converts into 6 7/32 inch though. I'm afraid they might be too short. At least that's what I was told by the guys in the work shops I first approached.

If you want good quality steel knives, you had best go to Henry Brothers - have a look at this: Henry Bros Saws - Bandsaw blades & circular saw blades

I just measured my Carbatec ones. 154mm. They will work fine in the planer head. Just move the fence over a few mm.

First things first, in the pics you have shown there is no sign of a cutter head guard. I would not allow anyone to use the unit as is without guarding. There is a pivot hole at the side of the infeed table for a swing away guard, at the very least make up replacement swing away for it asap.

Second the blades in the photos do not appear to to be original pattern as the unit is definitely designed to be capable of rebating (notched edge on outfeeed, infeed table extension around cutterhead) while the blades shown are not rebating blades, which are sharpened one edge and one end to produce a clean edge when rebating. The sharpened edge overhangs the body of the cutterhead by 2-3mm to provide clearance from the head while rebating, so the blades are wider than the head.

You should be able to get a set made to measure by your local commercial/industrial saw doctor. They can normally source material in appropriate sizes and grind to suit your sample or dimensions since your sample appears not to be original.
