Bobby Slack Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 And necessary I own this little Metabo DH316 13-by-6-1/4-Inch Portable Thickness Planer that is a life saver when needed. Got it pretty cheap. I need to buy blades. Where can I find them ... anybody? Problems ... i can't get flat cuts across the bed so the way I cheat is to feed the piece in one direction ... rotate ... re-feed. I take very small passes. I am aware that this can create some tear out but so far this worked for me. I do need blades, never changed them since 2008. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any reason you cant just have the current blades re-sharpened? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Slack Posted October 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Probably but I was hoping for new and better ones. I will take them to my saw sharpening dude. Anderson Saw here in Southern California, got some saw blades as well. But is always good to have a spare set of blades. Don't know where to buy blades off hand.

Looks like only one blade. I think a parts diagram I ran across showed two blades for your planer(?). It sounds like the blade is 18% tungsten carbide.

Bobby Slack Posted October 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 udaman I was emailing this morning with Ike Tipton from Metabo and he gave me exactly the part number you mentioned 0911063549 I also emailed Fastenal who provided me parts last time and drove it to my home. I will email him the prices and see if we can get a decent deal. Amazon gives me free freight probably ... I love America! Thank yoiu so much.
