I need some replacement blades for my DeWalt planer.
The blades for it are "Carbide tipped".
So are my saw blades & router bits.
These things spend their entire life slamming into wood at several thousand times a minute, so, I have some trouble thinking that "carbide is too brittle for a knife" is the reason why .
Matter of fact - forget wood!
Carbide tooling slams into metal too!
As far as any cost considerations - that's not much of an obstacle - people are nuts, they pay just about anything for something they want.
(over $100 grand for an SUV for instance).
Anyhow - I was just wandering about why no knives as I was shopping for planer knives.
