Freud C350 6-by-5/8-by-1/8-Inch Jointer Knives, 3-Pack Reviews
My experience with Freud has been good in the past. I might go carbide next time. Despite that, these knives seemed to chip within 20-30 linear feet of jointing white oak.
Otherwise only the ends of the blade back would get cleaned up. Due to the bow in the blades, I'm not sure if my Veritas honing jig will straighten them out to clean up the bevel. I was let down by these jointer knives for two reasons: 1) There is a healthy burr on them which required honing, 2) worse yet the blades have a bow in them, which then require firm pressure to the honing plate to knock down the burr. Hope you have better luck. If I wanted to screw around with tuning up knives, why would I have bought new ones. In fact there's enough of a burr that the bevel-edge will require honing as well.
As basic as planer blades are, these ones appear to offer good value and hold their edge quite well. Quite happy with them. Purchased for my 6" delta clone jointer.
Like all the freud products I have purchased in the past quality is some of the best out there.
I bought the same item about 5 years ago for my Chinese Jointer. They are excellent to start with and will last a long long time. They are somewhere around 1000% better than the ones that came with it.
