SimardThis item does its job, satisfied? no, I really would like to be able to sharpen tools instead of having to purchase a new one every time it gets dull.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful.Blades are not carbideBy Randall R. AndersonI too am disappointed with the blades. They are razor sharp and cut fine but they are not tungsten carbide. They are high speed tungsten steel. If you read carefully the "technical details" will say high speed steel which is correct. Who ever wrote the "product description" saw the word tungsten steel on the package and made a huge leap and wrote tungsten carbide. There is a big difference. If you have the KP312 plane you will have to invest in several of these blades. It will be part of the cost of working timbers. You will also pay attention to nails, grit, and dirt on the surface so as to extend the life of your blades.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful.Good planner, poor bladesBy DougIt seems that the planner was the inexpensive part of my purchase. The blades are of such poor quality that have to replace them very often. I would have expected better from Makita.See all 3 customer reviews...
