CMT 794.321 3-Piece High-Speed Steel Planer and Jointer Knives deliver precision surface preparation for woodworkers who demand consistent, high-quality results from their stationary planers and jointing machines. Carefully ground from fine European high-speed steel with a 13% tungsten (13%W) composition, these replacement knives are engineered to handle dry softwood, dry hardwood, and even wet hardwood - making them a versatile choice for a wide range of milling and surfacing tasks. Each set includes 3 knives measuring 12-1/2 inches in length, 11/16 inch in cutting height, and 1/8 inch in thickness, providing a direct-fit replacement that restores smooth, flat cutting performance to your planer or jointer.

Key Features

• 13% Tungsten High-Speed Steel (HSS) construction - the elevated tungsten content increases hardness and heat resistance, meaning the cutting edge stays sharper longer and holds up through demanding hardwood milling sessions without premature dulling.
• Precision-ground from fine European high-speed steel - each knife is carefully ground to exacting tolerances, producing a consistent cutting edge that delivers a smooth, flat finish on every pass and minimizes sanding and finishing time afterward.
• Compatible with dry softwood, dry hardwood, and wet hardwood - the broad material compatibility means a single set of knives handles most wood species and moisture conditions commonly found in cabinet shops, millwork operations, and general woodworking.
• Set of 3 knives per pack - matches the standard knife count for most stationary planers and jointers, so a single purchase gives you everything needed to complete a full knife change and restore your machine to peak performance.
• Designed for stationary planers and jointers - dimensioned as a direct replacement for machines that accept 12-1/2 in. x 11/16 in. x 1/8 in. knives, reducing downtime and the guesswork of finding a compatible aftermarket blade set.

Why This Product

• High-quality finish on every pass - the precision-ground European HSS construction means these knives produce a smooth, clean surface on both softwoods and hardwoods, reducing the need for follow-up hand planing or sanding.
• Handles wet and dry stock - unlike lower-grade planer knife sets that struggle with wet hardwood, the 13%W high-speed steel composition maintains cutting performance across varying moisture conditions, so you are not changing knives mid-project when moisture content varies.
• Complete set in a single purchase - the 3-piece set replaces all knives in a standard planer or jointer head at once, ensuring uniform cutting performance across the full width of the board rather than mixing new and worn blades.
• Engineered for long cutting life - the 13% tungsten alloy formula is specifically chosen for planer and jointing applications where repeated impact and abrasion would quickly degrade standard tool steel, helping extend the service interval between knife changes.
