Get Smooth & Consistent Surfaces with Planer Blades
Sharp, fresh planer blades keep your electric planer working its best. With sharp blades, you’ll get smooth surfaces that require fewer passes.
Reduced tear-out and snipe: This is especially important when you’re working with hardwoods, figured grain, or other expensive stock.
Cleaner cuts: sharp blades minimize burning, chattering, or leaving ridges. You get smooth and even cuts during planning.
Machine protection: replacing worn or chipped planer blades helps you avoid strain and damage to your planer's motor and rollers.
Efficiency: with sharp blades, you'll save time and effort with less sanding and prep.
It’s best to inspect your blades regularly, because even the highest-quality carbide-tipped blades will eventually lose their edge with long-term use. Here are some signs it’s time to replace worn down planer blades:
Excessive tear-out or raised grain.
Burn marks left behind on the wood.
Uneven thickness across passes.
Visible nicks, chips, or dull edges.
Fortunately, you’ll find planer blades and other electric planer accessories at Do it Best. Don’t struggle or ruin your next project with a dull blade. Keep your planer working in tip-top shape with sharp new blades for your next project.
Build Strong & Accurate Joints with Joiner Accessories
Whether you’re assembling furniture, building cabinetry, or creating eye-catching tabletops, biscuit joiners give you a simple but incredibly strong way to connect boards. Biscuit joiner accessories help ensure alignment and clamping strength without the use of screws or fasteners.
What are the advantages of using biscuits?
Alignment: biscuits ensure boards line up perfectly flush, preventing lippage.
Strength: when coated with glue, compression-milled biscuits slightly expand to create a tight, long-lasting joint.
Appearance: joints remain hidden, leaving a professional, expert-crafted look.
Versatility: useful for tabletops, shelving, cabinetry, frames, and other panel glue-ups.
Level up your next woodworking project by using biscuit joiners to connect boards from Do it Best. You'll love the artisan look that it gives your projects.
Choosing the Right Planer & Joiner Accessories
Matching the right blade or biscuit to your tool makes all the difference in getting beautiful results.
Here are some tips for choosing the best accessories for the job:
Match blade size to tool: Check your planer model’s manufacturer specs for length, width, and thickness before buying replacement blades.
Choose the right biscuit size:
#0 for narrow stock and small projects.
#10 for medium-sized panels, bookshelves, and cabinetry.
#20 the strongest option for tabletops, large panels, and thick materials.
Look for carbide-tipped blades: Carbide tips last longer, stay sharper, and resist damage from hidden knots or nails.
Use quality biscuits: Compression-milled biscuits swell consistently with glue, giving you tight, secure, gap-free joints.

Planer & Joiner Accessories: Frequently Asked Questions
How often should planer blades be replaced?
Replacement frequency depends on your level of usage and the materials you’re working with. Most professionals replace or rotate blades every 20-30 hours of cutting. Do a visual inspection of the wood for tear-out or burn marks, which are early warning signs that a blade is getting dull.
Can I sharpen planer blades?
Some types of high-speed steel blades can be sharpened. Carbide-tipped blades typically need to be replaced when they become dull. Sharpening requires precision and special tools, making replacement the more cost-effective option.
Will any blade fit my planer?
Planer blades aren’t one-size-fits-all. It’s important to check compatibility with your planer’s make and model. Trying to work with the wrong size blade can damage your tool and compromise safety.
