Carbide-Tipped 25″ × 1″ × 1/8″ Bar-Length Planer/Jointer Knife Bar

Description

The TC103 is a 25-inch carbide-tipped HSS bar-length planer and jointer knife bar, 1 wide and 1/8 thick. Bar-length stock allows the shop to cut individual knives to the specific length required by each machine — a 25-inch bar typically yields multiple knife sets for standard jointer and planer configurations from 4 inches to 16 inches, reducing per-knife cost compared to buying pre-cut sets. The 1-wide cross-section suits knife profiles that fit heads requiring this knife height; the 1/8 thickness must match the head’s knife slot specification precisely — confirm slot dimension before ordering. Carbide tipping extends edge life significantly over solid HSS in hardwood, abrasive manufactured board, and high-volume softwood production — carbide-tipped knives require diamond grinding equipment and are preferred where edge intervals must span long production runs. Grind to finished profile on a standard surface grinder with appropriate HSS wheel. Used across jointer heads, planer heads, and moulder knife holders accepting 1/8-thick knife stock at 1 height.
