Can I get some input on the Infinity Carbide Tipped Planer blades. I'm getting tired of changing the HSS blades on my Dewalt 735.
Thanks in advance!

"In general"...carbide can last longer relative to wear, but typically isn't as "sharp" as HHS because carbide can be more brittle if sharpened to the same degree. Everything has trade-offs that enter into the decision whether or not the increased cost of the carbide is justified over just changing the HSS more frequently.

I had infinity’s carbide tipped blades in my 735. The were great and very easy to resharpen with a simple shop made made fixture. I do miss that planer.

Mike, those "disposable" knives can be sharpened. Look at buying (Deulen) or making a jig to sharpen them. My resharpened knives are sharper than any factory new knife.
There are a couple stores in the USA on eBay and Amazon that are selling same grade carbide tipped blades for a lot less. I bought a set from reds and they seem to work good on my grizzly planer.
Thanks for the input guys! That what I like about this forum...
