POWERTEC 12-1/2 Inch Planer Blades for DeWalt DW734 Planer, Replacement for DW7342 Planer Knives, Set of 6 (12801DD)

I bought these for my dw734 because I figured for the money saved I'd try them. They seemed well made and sharp out of the box. I installed them today and they fit perfectly. I ran a handful of pieces of rustic grade white oak through the planer and, wow! These blades definitely cut as well or better than the factory blades. Hopefully they last at least as long, which if you have one of these planers, you know the life span of the name brand blades is not that great. So far so good!..............I'm editing this review to say that the lifespan of these blades is no better than the name brand, but given they are much cheaper you're still money ahead. I'll buy them again when I need more

Blades arrived very sharp, and exact fit. Better price than Dewalt brand but,...Within the first few passes they already had chips, and were leaving stripes. Not so bad that they can be sanded out, but expected them to last a little better.

Compared to the factory Dewalt replacement blades, these seem to operate about the same. The high speed steel blades don’t seem to hold an edge very well with hardwoods, but that’s all of them, not just these. These are the best deal you’ll find on HSS replacement blades.

Started getting grooves in my wood almost immediately after running a few boards through. I’m running Douglas Fir so its not even a hardwood. I wouldn’t buy again

Ordered these for my dads planer. They are about half the price in store and he says they work great.

LOL My husband was happy with them.

Fast shipment.easy to install.Working on white oak.blades are doing a great job do far.

Just replaced dewalt planer blades with this ones and its just like new!
