Where do you get your planer blades?

I have the Rigid 4330 13" planer. Home Depot/Rigid no longer make the blades for it. It takes 3 blades . Where do you get your planer blades? Are you happy with them?
Thanks

I order that sort of thing from Global Tooling in Eugene, Oregon. You'll have to check their website to see if they have knives for your planer.

Oella Saw and Tool is a good source in MD

Did you try to sharp them, even carbide ones... There are places were you can order a such service and usually a lot cheaper than a replacement set.

I do not have reference in the US but at less than one hour drive from home there is a great place with a few CNC machines dedicated only to sharp woodworker's tools like saw blades, router bits and, of course, plane blades... all at affordable prices - I guess there are a number of a such business at the US you can access by mail.

Good luck!

Edited to add: I did not see the reference above about those blades at USD 30 in amazon... at that price I would go to a new blade set from them, except if you can sharp your old blades at your shop (usually it isn't so hard if you construct a hone guide and have available some diamond sharpeners.

I purchased my last set from Amazon. My planer is a Dewalt, however.
