Mark Hennbury - marunaka question

David Weaver

Mark - there's a question on the hand tool side about what kind of cutting irons are available for the super surfacer. Can you provide a brief answer?

As in, what steel array offered, etc, anything else useful (disposable options vs. not).

I think the intended thought is what actually gets used in tools that are really for pro use only where you count dollars vs. the hit or miss alloy offerings in newer planes.

Check Wisconsin Knife Works web site. They make steel tooling for furniture industry. I have M42 knives in my planer from them and particle M2 in jointer. They make a cheaper D2 knife blank. And they make a stainless knife steel for use in damp locations, but I don't know what it is.
