  • Publishes all three dimensions, and they match the published HSS set here exactly
  • Carbide holds an edge far longer than HSS on abrasive or painted stock
  • The 30 and 10 per cent claims name no standard to compare against

Best for: A hand-held electric planer on painted or reclaimed stock, where HSS blunts in a meter

Every figure below names its source. Each one is a manufacturer specification read off the listing itself. The judgments are ours.

Eighty-two by five and a half by one point two

The same section as the published HSS blades on this shelf, to the tenth of a millimeter.

Which makes this a straight substitution: the same clamp, the same projection, the same machines — and a different material in the edge.

That is a rarer thing on this site than it sounds. Two listings on this shelf cannot agree on the length of a DeWalt knife; here two listings agree exactly and differ only in the steel.

HSS or carbide

HSS takes a keener edge and can be honed. It suits clean timber and a user who maintains edges.

Carbide holds its edge perhaps five to ten times longer on paint, glue, MDF and reclaimed stock — and cannot be honed at all. A chip is the end of that edge.

For fitting painted doors, carbide. For dressing clean softwood, HSS.

The two listings sit side by side on this shelf at the same section, which is exactly how that choice should be presented.

Thirty per cent, and ten per cent

Stated: lasts up to 30 per cent longer and 10 per cent sharper than standard tungsten carbide blades.

The FOXBC carbide blades on this shelf publish the same two percentages, in the same words.

Neither says what a standard carbide blade is, who makes it, or how either figure was measured.

Two brands with identical unattributed numbers is shared copy rather than a comparison, and it is printed here as that. The dimensions on both pages can be checked. These two cannot.

Ten blades, twenty edges

An 82 mm (3.23 in) blade is a consumable the width of a finger.

The published HSS ten-pack on this shelf makes the practical argument: cheap enough to change them before they are truly blunt, which is the habit that keeps a planer cutting instead of burnishing.

The same logic holds here, with a longer interval between changes.

What comes up most often

Carbide or HSS at 82 mm (3.23 in)?

It depends entirely on what the stock has in it. The published 82 mm (3.23 in) HSS blades on this shelf are exactly the same section — 82 by 5.5 by 1.2 mm (0.05 in) — so this is a straight swap. HSS takes a keener edge and can be honed, which suits clean timber and a user who maintains edges. Carbide holds its edge perhaps five to ten times longer on paint, glue, MDF and reclaimed stock, and cannot be honed at all — a chip is the end of that edge. For fitting painted doors, carbide. For dressing clean softwood, HSS.

Thirty per cent longer than what?

Not stated, and the same two percentages appear on the FOXBC carbide blades on this shelf in the same words — lasts up to 30 per cent longer and 10 per cent sharper than standard tungsten carbide blades. Neither listing says what a standard carbide blade is, who makes it, or how either figure was measured. Two brands publishing identical unattributed percentages is worth printing as what it is: shared copy, not a comparison. The dimensions on both pages are checkable; these two numbers are not.

Ten blades — is that a lot?

It is a long time at this size. An 82 mm (3.23 in) hand planer blade is a consumable the width of a finger, and a reversible one gives two edges; ten blades is twenty edges. The published HSS set on this shelf is also a ten-pack and its page makes the practical point: cheap enough to change them before they are truly blunt, which is the habit that keeps a planer cutting rather than burnishing. The same logic applies here with a longer interval between changes.
