Rock:

Like Chris, my planer knives arrived today (3/14). Tjhe width of the new blades is .750". Apparently the set I had on hand, measuring .728", which had been sharpened once by an outside source, shows just how much metal a professional sharpening service can remove.

Believe me truthfully, from now on I will sharpen my blades myself using the conical sanding disk. I will get much longer life out of a set of blades.
