High Speed Steel Jointer and Planer Knife Sets

We offer our standard jointer and planer knife sets in two grades of cutting material and for the ultimate upgrade, don't forget to look at our Byrd Shelix jointer and planer heads.

Our knives are high end precision made to ISO specifications. We start with raw AISI forged steel salt bath heat treated for consistant hardness, triple draw tempered (stress relieved) then precision ground to a fine finish and exacting tolerances.

High Speed Steel: V2 is our newest exotic breed of HSS with extra Vanadium for long life. V2 offers the same wear life and performance as M2-HSS, but at a 25% lower cost. By increasing the levels of Vanadium to replace more expensive Molybdenum we have developed a blend of steel with excellent tool life and the lowest price of any HSS on the market. V2 has a 63 HRc and is easy to profile shape. Great for most long runs in soft or hardwoods.

Carbide Tipped (TCT) knives are offered for 10 times longer life!

Planer Knives are priced & packaged in sets of 3 knives or 4 knives when noted. Knives can be purchased in larger balanced sets for high speed planers (i.e. 6, 10, 20 to 32 knife heads). Contact us for a price if you do not see the size or grade of steel you need, we can make specials.
