Help to find some future proofing...hand planer

[david.elliott]

I have my Dads old TOWA electric planer, and its a beauty. The challenge is it's a 92mm NOT a 82mm wide cut.
I'd hate to have to park it if I cannot get blades for it.

The old HSS were down to the lower limit and had no joy getting some made.

Recently I managed to stumble on a conversion kit for it to TCT blades, and I'm looking for more blades to put away for the future...
Was getting bandsaw blades at an old saw sharpening business and on the display wall behind the counter was a kit with one set of blades and a spare set.
Blister pack cardboard backing faded and the plastic on top nearly perished away, so been there a long, long time...

So I'm putting it out there if someone sees any I'll have 'em...

Thanks guys (and girls?)..

A quick fleabay search ("92 planer blade") provided 1 local & 7 UK-based suppliers of 92mm tungsten carbide disposable blades, which is I assume what you're after!

While you're at it a spare drive belt or 2 and a pair of spare brushes wouldn't go astray either!

Hi David, Try Cutting Edge Saws based in Sydney, I managed to get blades for my Towa from this company and found them excellant. Regards
