Disposable planer blades
I bought these blades and they are not sharp enough .
I bought 5 pairs and every time I hope that the next pack that I opened will be better , it never
happened . The positive that I take from the experience is to avoid xcalibur products in the future
and stick to razor sharp blades supplied by Appelby woodturnings , there is no comparison apart from
the actual blade size . There are a few tell tale signs to watch out for , number one is the nail test , lightly
run your thumbnail over blades from appelby and you produce shaving . Number two , listen to the
reduced noise using appelby compared to xcalibur , Number three , feel the timber almost magnatize to the planer bed as the sharp blades bite and produce near chatter free results from handfeeding using the
superior Appelby supplied blades , which I am told are made in the same factory that Metabo blades
are produced .
Do yourself a favour and discover what sharp really means , also the edge retention is very good .
My conclusion above is based on maximum 0.5 mm maximum removal amount
Best Regards

Sharp and ready to go..
Blades are of decent quality, previous set were used exclusively for white oak and lasted a fair length of time.

Compliment the Metabo machine perfectly.
Fitting the blades can be complicated when following the machine guide instructions, care is needed to protect the edges, but when all is tightened down the blades fulfil all expectations in both the planer and thicknesses modes.Read full review...
