What Customers Say About Freud C350 6-by-5/8-by-1/8-Inch Jointer Knives, 3-Pack:

These worked well with a Delta jointer at about 1/3 the price of Delta blades. They were slightly thicker, but fit OK. As usual the main problem was in getting all 3 blades aligned properly with the outfeed table.
Easy to order these through Amazon, for sure, and much cheaper than the Jet. No biggie (a quick trip to the disc sander and Tormek), but the blades won't fit otherwise, at least on my set up. My jointer is a Jet JJ-6CSX. The Freud blades are thicker than the factory blades, and required that the gib screw head be flattened a bit prior to installing the blades. I also honed the burr off the back on an 8000x Norton waterstone. Haven't had them on long enough to tell about wear, etc., but I would assume they would be at least as good as the original product.
both transaction and product were a-1. i bought these for a used joiner that i recently purchased. knowing little about using joiners i was disappointed with its performence. new knives made all the difference in the world.
If you need to do the same my advice is as follows:- Use a rotary grinding wheel and go SLOW- Every 5-8 seconds dip the hot end of the knives in USED motor oil for a ten-count. I had to order these for an old 70's vintage 130mm jointer. I had no problems grinding them to the size I needed. Used motor oil has higher carbon content and will help keep the temper.- Check length often to ensure you don't over-grind.- Use vice grips to hold all three knives at once, ensuring blades are even.- Grind from only one end, and make sure it's the end you plan to use LEAST since it will loose some of its temper.- WEAR SAFETY GLASSES AND HEAVY GLOVES.I've used the knives in my jointer quite a bit since I got them (100+ linear feet, mostly old oak). Even with having ground them they seem to be keeping an edge.
My experience with Freud has been good in the past. Despite that, these knives seemed to chip within 20-30 linear feet of jointing white oak. I might go carbide next time.
