I installed these blades as replacements on my Delta 22-540 planer and was very pleased with how sharp they were and how easy it was to install them. Once installed these knives have done a great job for me on red oak, q/s white oak, pine, and poplar.
I have owned this planer for years now and I find that these double edged knives are a great value. By flipping them over when they get dull they last me a long time. DELTA 22-547 12-Inch Steel Knife Set for 22-540 Planer
I live near a city of over 100,000 people and could not find this type blades anywhere in the city. I found them at Amazon.Com, ordered them and they arrived at my home in a very timely manner. Thank you, Amazon.Com
Someody forgot to harden the steel used in these knives. The previous Delta knives lasted for 1000s of feet of use...I was lucky if I got 1000' w/ these, even with flipping them. Knots never have been a problem. With these knives pine knots dinged them repeatedly. Don't waste your $.
I used one side of the blades to plane pine wood. The boards were 4 in. wide, about 1/2 inch thick and approx. 6 ft long. I planes them down to about 3/8 in. I did about 8 pieces. All went well but one board had many knots in it and it chipped the blade. Seems great for wood with few knots in it.
After lengthy shopping for the lowest price on a set of replacement planer blades, I found that Amazon had the best price. These were genuine replacement parts so there was no sacrificing quality for price. The shipment arrived when I was told it would. - Woodworking Tool'
