DeWalt 733

[digger]

I need new blades for a Dewalt 733 planer. Has anyone used the Powertec brand ? I was wondering how they held up.

Thanks

I did but wouldn't buy them again. They seemed to cut OK but I think the DeWalt blades are better so I buy them now.

Thanks for the reply. I wanted to check before I bought.

The 733 blades are resharpenable, if that helps...

If you had the 734 or 735 I'd recommend the knives from infinity. They even have carbide if you want to go that route.

I bought a set of powertec for my ridgid tp1300 and they were ok. However I have put new ridgid knives in and gotten a line after two short pieces of cherry.
I was looking at getting another big planer again but I do like the finish and easy knife changes of the portables and it's quieter than the old jet 15" I had.
