I just contacted gobaltooling and I am waiting for a response. Were the cutters square or rectangular? The size I need is 27×15x2 – 2 Holes spaced at 14. It seems to be a weird size

Sorry didn’t realize this was a rectangular cutter, looks like it might be tough to get these cutters. I don’t believe anyone sells the equivalent model. Steel City just introduced this model when they ceased operations. You might want to try Normand 520 Thompson Drive, Unit 3 Cambridge ON N1T 2K8 Tel.: 519.622.1111 Fax: 519.624.2222 They still carry Steel City in Canada.

Thanks for the info.

FYI
-Cutech does not carry them.
-Normand only supplies the High Speed Steel inserts at ~$35 for 5 cutters (CAD)
-Global Tooling does not sell them and they checked with their suppliers with no luck
-Woodworks of Ohio (thisiswoodworking.com) sells the carbide bits for $35 for 5 cutters (USD). They are twice the price of similar sized inserts. (Sold out at the moment)

The planer needs 26 inserts. You must buy 30. $210 USD to replace them.
The Cutters are rectangular and have two cutting edges, the size is 27×15×2 – 2 Holes spaced at 14mm

I am really hoping a third party supplier will start making them at a fair price. If not I will have to try to change the cutter head in the planer to something else or try to sell it.

I heard at one time Amana was making carbide inserts for Steel City planers. That was a while back and things do change. I don’t remember them being rectangular though…

I am still looking for the blades. It looks like thisiswoodworking.com is not able to get the carbide blades any more.

I know this is a long shot but now I am looking for the technical drawings for the cutters, I would like to look at getting them custom made.

If any one out there has any info on the drawings that would be great.

Thanks

Hi, Sorry for bringing this one up from the dead – I am currently looking into whether people are still in need of these inserts (carbide versions that is) ?

I already provide various other inserts along with specialised router bits for guitar builders and one of my customers has asked whether I can get them produced. Essentially I am trying to check the market before telling the factory to go ahead with production.

Just FYI I only supply carbide inserts – no HSS and only K01 carbide also (one of the finest and hardest carbide grades). If anyone wants more details please free to search sje tools either Amazon or Google and you will see all the reviews. :)

Cheers

I have the woodriver planer that takes these blades. I wonder if they’re the same as the steel city?

And, if I can get carbides, I’d be interested.

They are the same and yes as said I only deal in carbide insert :)

SJE – What would it cost to get the blades made for this planer?

Hey thanks for the reply – I am currently working with the factory to get them manufactured, they will be around $28 for 5 (or they might be sold in 10s depending on the packaging available at the factory.

They will be available via Amazon for purchase – I’ll keep you informed as when they’ll be available – all being in the coming month.

Cheers

Hey guys – after some hold-ups I have finally managed to get these inserts produced and are available on Amazon.

Yes they are carbide – not HSS.

Hopefully, they will help a few people out as I know these inserts are virtually impossible to get these days – please rest assure these are identical to the originals – I sourced a pack of unused Steel City inserts sent them to the factory for them to produce a mould to the exact dimensions. :)

Initially there is a limited stock to gauge popularity – if they sell out they will be back in stock within a couple of weeks
