I called our local tool supply house and found that they wanted $33 per iron (read that as $99 for the set of 3) for replacements. They worked so well that I ordered another set (as spares). Over the past month I've smoothed about 500 linear feet of 6 inch wide, rough sawn 5/4 cherry and beech with these Freud knives and they have handled it perfectly. I recently nicked the irons in my Steel City long bed jointer and found that I could not grind/sharpen the problems away. I searched for alternatives on line and stumbled across this offer from Freud/Amazon. I would recommend these highly as a great product/great value. I purchased the set of 3 irons for about $25 and within a couple of days I had the new irons in hand/installed.

I've got LOTS of milled red oak to surface and joint, so I'll check back in to see how the knives hold up through that test. FINALLY got around to replacing my knives on my ancient Jet 6" and with the Woodstock W1210 Polycarbonate Jointer Pal. It was a breeze -- one of those "why did I wait this long to do this." projects. So far so good. Ran some soft and hardwood through and it looks great.

We don't get any complaints about our blades"Umm YES you do get complaints because I was complaining with him right then. These blades are so dull, I couldn't even cut my finger with these. I contacted Freud directly about it and all I received was "thats our blade thats how they come. The dull blades I am replacing are sharper than these brand new Freud blades and Freud has ZERO concern.These are terrible. If you don't like it you should return them to where you bought them.

I was able to install them and they are performing satisfactorily, however the extra length does not allow any freedom in installation which will shorten their life by not allowing me to shift position slightly when the inevitable nicks occur. They arrived promptly and in excellent condition. I ordered the Freud C400 6-1/8-by-11/16-by-1/8-Inch Jointer Knives as a replacement for my 1950s era Craftsman Jointer. I had a little difficulty in installing them due to the fact that they were actually 6-3/16 inches long instead of the advertised 6-1/8. I will try another manufacturer next time with the hope that they will be closer to the advertised dimensions. Other dimensions were accurate.

They already have little nicks in them, which is about what the stock blades did too. I bought a couple sets to make sure I don't run out again. They are not an upgrade, but may very well be the most cost effective solution. I used these on my Ridgid JP0610 Jointer and they are at least as good as the blades that came with the unit. For the price they are very reasonable. As always they were shipped promptly and arrived on time and un damaged. If you want basically the same blades that came with your Ridgid, these work fine.
