This is my review of the infinity aner blades for the Dewalt dw735. These are high speed steel and they claim longer blade life. Slightly higher cost than the stock Dewalt blades that seem to nick and dull when you just look at them. The infinity's cost $79.95
They come well packaged
They are ground nice and laser etched, double edged and reversible just like the originals.
They are good quality HSS.
To break the screws loose I use a torx bit socket with a 3/8" ratchet and extension. I find it fits better than the tool Dewalt supplied with the planer and doesn't strip the heads out. It also gives better leverage to break stubborn screws loose.
I still use the Dewalt tool to lift and remove the blades with the magnets in it. Also to install the new ones.
This is the thickness of the standard blade.
And the infinity replacement is thicker.
So far I am much happier with these blades. The cut quality is good and the planer is feeding much better with sharp blades. This is a cheaper alternative to replacing the cutter head with a carbide insert cutter. I decided to try these blades instead as I may upgrade the planer to a new Grizzly at some point. So far I like these blades, I'll update as time goes on with how they hold up. I recently ran a bunch of red oak through the planer with good results.
