Performax Planer Blades

I purchased the cutter head for my dewalt planer. I can’t say enough good about this product. This turned my planer in to a completely different machine. If you’re on the fence about the cost I am here to say it is well worth the money. Turned an hour long job into a 10 minut job. I put it off for a long time and now I regret not doing it sooner.

Wasn’t good booklet but YouTube was great. Once installed was the awesome bit it’s absolutely amazing so quiet and a wonderful finish on the results. Well worth it.

I was hesitant spending this amount without knowing if the reviews were true to their word. Fortunately my machining background in cutting tools helped make the decision to go ahead. No regrets! This tool exceeded my expectation. It cuts much quieter, cuts much smoother, less load on the machine allows for a deeper cut. This is a worth while tool.

Items arrived from China within the stated time with frequent shipping updates. Smooth transaction from ordering to delivery with no hidden costs. Very competitively priced. Had to trim width to fit the 20mm pulley wheel which wasn’t a problem and to be expected. Fitted tyre after soaking in hot water, clamping and using wooden dowel to ease the tyre on with some stretching. Plenty of advice online. Fits perfectly and does the job! Seems of good quality but time will tell and urethane should last. Very pleased with the product so far.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY.

Here is a bit of the 9 emails so far. They keep asking questions, etc. etc. and even asking for me to take and send pictures of the blades side by side. They sent the wrong product and are refusing to make it right.

so i can help you"

I repled then I get:

"sorry about this matter again, what are your brand and model?
also what are you purchased them elsewhere.
please let me know link, so i can check what are error, this is ok?
thanks again"

ARE THEY SERIOUS? Pictures and a link from where I got the correct product? Then they go silent

My reply:
"Part of the email.."Here is a picture of the 2 blades side by side. They are not cut right, and you can see the difference and the holes do not line up. We have tried multiple times to make them work and they do not. It has also been 4 days since your last communication and 9 since I have requested the return."

Very very satisfied with this purchase! Talk about a game changer! Noise difference is unbelievable! Not to mention how well it cuts! Installation was pretty simple and straight forward. Fit perfectly and works even better!

It worked great! It cut straight and clean on a piece of 1 1/4" heavy DOM. Went nice a smooth with no heating of the part. For the money, this is a good deal.

If you need an everyday construction site set of blades, look no further than these. I cut approximately 30 brace blocks from 2x4s for a deck. One blade did 60 cuts like the first cut. I even did a one vertical cut on a 2x8 at the end. All were done on pressure treated lumber, I’m impressed. Can’t beat the price and I will be ordering more. 6/12 tpi for those who want to know.

These work like any other blade that I have purchased. I have not necessarily found any great difference between the most expensive brands and the lower priced brands since I tend to challenge the blade with all types of materials. I would lump this in the mix and buy these based upon the price. At a dollar and a half, for each blade, these are on the very affordable side of what is available. I have sometimes used long metal blades for demolition if I have a large amount of metal embedded (could be conduit, etc.).

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!

FOXBC 9 Inch 6/12 TPI Demolition Reciprocating Saw Blades for Nail-Embedded Wood, Bi-Metal, 25-Pack with Case --- Received 25 blades as advertised. Haven’t had occasion to use one yet but they are thinner metal, but solid and sharp. Demolition blades are usually bulkier than these. Fit easily into my Dewalt battery operated reciprocating. saw. Plastic case is adequate for keeping them together but doesn’t look like it would take much abuse.

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.

I have an old craftsman jointer that desperately needed blades. I bought these and am super happy. Swapped the old ones out and the jointer is back to life. Blades were dharp and flat which is all that's necessary. I'll buy this brand again when I need another set!

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.
