12-1/2-Zoll-Hobelmesser für Craftsman 351.21722 und 21780, ersetzen 217220 – 2er-Set

I don't often review but I have gone through many planer blade sets for this planer. I'm very glad there is an exact fit replacement as it seems Dewalt has stopped selling blade replacements. These seem to be an exact fit. All dimensions are exact except they are consistently .02 grams heavier and there's no pyramid stamp. I only did the weight because I could not find discrepancies (LxWxHxT). I read a review that they are not as good as the original, don't last as long. May be slightly softer material, IDK...TBD. I will get back to you on this.For now I am giving it 5 stars. I'm on my 9th double pack of blades from Dewalt. That's 4 blade sets per double pack. 36 blade changes. Excellent planer. Glad FoxBC picked up this replacement part.Price = matchesFit = matchesLife & cut = TBDHope this helps, Cheers!

Partial review only, as I need to put these through their paces. The blades are well formed and have no obvious flaws. No curves, errors, etc. The case could use a bit more strength, though, as both pieces of mine are cracked.

Will get dull a little faster then their heated counterparts. However for the first time in 5 sets of blade I’ve just rotated these and did not see a single chip in the blades. This usually happens with any other blades I’ve tried including original DW735 13” blades.
Im going to use these from now on only, needs to be rotated just a little more often, but at the price point they are great. If you start questioning their performance then rotate/replace and go again with a fresh cut. 5 stars!

These last almost as long as the expensive ones, they stay strait just as well, and cut very well. Even though the blade will dull slightly faster (i didn't really notice this until i measured the cuts and compared, it's not much), the amount of cut per dollar is higher than the expensive blades, and the amount of efficient cutting per dollar is higher too, since you are working with a fresher blade more of the time.To put it in perspective, the guys that were doing the demo work did not reach 6 inches further to get the expensive blades, they just grabbed these (they were both sitting on the supplies table). These guys hate changing blades and such, because they see it as wasted time, so for these to choose these much more economical blades tells me that I'll be buying these more often.One note, they come with an expandable blade case, but the plastic is "so-so", you probably won't be keeping the case and putting more blades in it like you would some similar cases that you buy separately, but at this price, the case is, essentially, a freebie with the blades, so it's much appreciated.

there are more expensive, higher quality blades available, but this is still a great crosscutting blade and very much worth the money.

I got this for planning old rough Purple Heart after I destroyed the factory knifes ..I’ve excluded before and after photos with no sanding straight out of the planner

Nice container. Worth restoring with a bit of duct tape.I like to test these kinds of saw blades in a hand-powered handle and in a basic battery-powered saw. This gives me a pretty good idea of how well they perform without too easily overheating, which is murder on cutting edges.I'm not sure it shows very well in these pictures, but the kerf produced by hand cutting is wider than that produced with a power saw. I would have liked to see a bit wider kerf, which would have allowed the coating of these blades to last a bit longer than it does.The steel I cut was a medium hard framing steel, as was the deck screw, which is much harder than typical wood fasteners.I'd choose a bimetal blade with 8-tpi for wood demolition unless a lot of deck screws are involved. These blades are best suited for metal, as described.I was able to make a low angle plunge cut in wood and soft metal. For harder metals intended it be cut with this blade, a plunge cut can be started with a Dremel tool pretty easily.Recommended on price and general utility.

Works great

I make a lot of end grain cutting boards. Those things are really tough to level out after final glue up. I had been using a drum sander, but the heat generated and other factors just made it nearly impossible to get the boards flat. Now, I can use the planer. I make VERY light passes, but this thing cuts end grain!! And it puts a reasonable surface on the board so I am not having to sand out the horrible grooves from the drum sander. I start at 120 grit now. Saves me HOURS of work. Could not be more stoked on this cutter head.

I was using it to trim off excess of melamine veneer edging. Very happy with results

I have an old Craftsman 4 inch jointer (model 149.236223). The difference in the knives was night and day. It only took a few minutes to change the blades out and I was back in business. I tested it on a few pieces of pallet wood and was very impressed with the results. I would definitely recommend these blades for anyone who needs new 4 inch jointer knives.

This is a well made ripping blade. Sharp with good brazing on the carbide. Venting expansion slots are actual laser cut. The big box version has taken to painting them on... Fit right on my arbor and runs true. I do miss the lubricant coating, but washing it after each day of use will still work. This brand has been around for a few years now. Recommended.

These planer blades arrived on time in a bubble wrap packed box with the blades securely retained in a plastic container with the blades wrapped in oil paper. These blades are very sharp. They had no nicks or chips and installed easily in my DeWalt planer. Put in use that day with excellent results, I highly recommend these blades and this supplier.

I was very happy with this dado set. The larger number of teeth on the outer blades make a nice clean cut. It has a nice range of dado cut widths by varying the inner cutter and spacer combinations. Blades appear to be of high quality and the price was reasonable. Packaged well for shipping and or storage too.

This blade does the job I need it to do. Not a superfine, finishing type cut for me but definitely serviceable.

It still pretty sharp at this point and the price is great compared to what you can pay for a 40 teeth blade.

Time will tell for sharpness and longevity, but solid so far.
