I'm just finishing a wine rack using recycled old growth redwood from a bridge trestle. I had the redwood milled into 2x lumber and then I cut it into 1 5/8 x 7/8, 3/4 x 3/4, etc. pieces in my shop. Finally, I used my Makita planer to get to 1 1/2 x 3/4, 11/16 x 11/16, etc. final sizes. The planing process made a perfect finish. Tip: don't use a shop tape to measure; use calipers. With the Makita planer you can shave the stock less than a hundreth of an inch without leaving chop marks. Also, calipers enable resizing to replace broken pieces or make additional stock. EXACT reproducing is needed for consistency to pry the rack sections out of the template after gluing and pin nailing. I use dial calipers graduated in hundreths for all my wine rack and face frame ... MoreI'm just finishing a wine rack using recycled old growth redwood from a bridge trestle. I had the redwood milled into 2x lumber and then I cut it into 1 5/8 x 7/8, 3/4 x 3/4, etc. pieces in my shop. Finally, I used my Makita planer to get to 1 1/2 x 3/4, 11/16 x 11/16, etc. final sizes. The planing process made a perfect finish. Tip: don't use a shop tape to measure; use calipers. With the Makita planer you can shave the stock less than a hundreth of an inch without leaving chop marks. Also, calipers enable resizing to replace broken pieces or make additional stock. EXACT reproducing is needed for consistency to pry the rack sections out of the template after gluing and pin nailing. I use dial calipers graduated in hundreths for all my wine rack and face frame finish planing (and tape measure/Powermatic for rough planing). The wine rack project needed about 3,000 pieces, each planed on four sides. With new blades, the redwood shined like glass. After a couple thousand passes (four to five pieces at a time), things got a little dull and I also got some tearing, depending on the grain. Reversing the blades to the sharp side fixed that. One other thing I noticed is I could pass wood through the planer's right side and get .6875 (11/16") and pass another piece on the left side and still get .6875". The machine is perfectly parallel from side to side. BTW, before the wine rack I did an oak cabinet job. So I really got my money's worth from the set of blades. I believe you can get the blades sharpened using an on-line supplier, but would only do this ONCE per set, as the metal would get too thin to be stable after that.

I've purchased these Makita blades as well as the off brand, and in my experience these Makita blades are well worth the few extra dollars they cost!! Sharp and smooth cutting and last!! The off brand I purchased, started out nice but went dull very quickly. Bottom line Makita tools are hard to beat, well worth the extra $$

I would sure recommend Makita planer -- easy to install - I plane much white oak and black locust - never a problem using the Makita planer blades.

Seems to be the real deal. Good quality.

These blades arrive razor sharp and stay that way for a long time, even after planing thousands of board feet of notoriously hard woods like Sapele. As another review mentioned, check the sharpness of your blades frequently, and replace them when they start to dull. It's money well spent if you care about quality cuts and essential if you're planing highly figured woods.
