CMT 794.648 HS Planer and Jointer Knife - 25 Inch Length is a high-speed steel planer knife carefully ground from fine European high speed steel, engineered for precise material removal when planing and jointing dry softwood, dry hardwood, and wet hardwood. Built to CMT's exacting standards, this 25-inch knife delivers the edge retention and cutting consistency that woodworkers and shop professionals depend on when running stationary planers and jointers. Note: this item is discontinued and is available only while supplies last.

Key Features

• 13% Tungsten High Speed Steel construction - the elevated tungsten content increases hardness and heat resistance, so the cutting edge stays sharper longer during extended planing runs on dense or wet hardwood.
• Carefully ground from fine European high speed steel - precision grinding produces a consistent, repeatable edge geometry across the full 25-inch length, reducing snipe and surface irregularities in the finished board.
• Suitable for dry softwood, dry hardwood, and wet hardwood - broad material compatibility means one knife handles a wide variety of species and moisture levels without requiring frequent tool changes.
• 25-inch blade length with 35 mm cutting height - the generous cutting height allows for multiple sharpenings over the life of the knife, extending usable service life and lowering long-term tooling cost.
• 1/8-inch thickness - matches standard planer and jointer knife seats for straightforward installation without shimming or custom fitting.

Why This Product

• Woodworkers processing both wet and dry lumber benefit from a single knife rated for both conditions - no need to stock separate blades for green wood versus kiln-dried stock.
• The 13% tungsten HS steel formulation addresses a common frustration with lower-grade knives: premature dulling that causes tear-out and rough surfaces - especially on dense hardwood species.
• At 25 inches, this knife covers the full-width cutting arc of wide stationary planers and jointers, ensuring uniform surface quality edge to edge without overlap seams.
• Because the 35 mm cutting height allows repeated resharpening, professionals who sharpen their own knives can maximize the investment from each blade rather than replacing at first sign of dullness.
